After meeting apprentices for Dalesman, for Craft and Design I carried out a major review of all training opportunities for careers in Textiles.
Apprenticeships in textiles are so rare that many people believe there are none. But after weeks on the trail, I eventually discovered that there are a few, rare, specialised apprenticeships available in textiles.
And they are well worth taking, as there is a skills shortage in the sector.
But – do the wrong course, and you won’t have the skills you need.
So, if you want a career in textiles, where should you start? Apprenticeship, degree course, evening classes, private tuition?
Craft and Design this month publishes a special report, investigating the pros and cons of all these, and other options.
If you’re interested in a career in textiles – either first time, or second time around – see what you could do in the Sept- Oct edition of Craft and Design Magazine.
