On Monday 21st February Jackie and Divya from the FC Fashion Technology Academy (Leicester) visited the local Job Centre Plus to spread the word about what the Academy can offer.
The session provided the opportunity to chat to potential learners and explain about the FTA courses and the range of opportunities in Leicester’s manufacturing sector. The visit attracted 4 potential learners, all of which are now scheduled to visit the FCFTA (Leicester) to explore the opportunity further.
Some of the potential learners already have some basic industry skills and were interested in the Level 2 stitching and the pattern cutting courses. Following this visit a request has been made for FCFTA (Leicester) to visit Charles Street, Leicester Job Centre within the next week, to continue to promote fashion production training and skills and careers in Leicester’s thriving fashion and textile industry.
Please note some courses are free for those in receipt of benefits or low income and live in Leicester.
The FCFTA (Leicester) campus is based at 2nd Floor, Unit 1, Black & Yellow Building, 30 Stonebridge St, Leicester LE5 3PA Tel: 0116 436 2560.
