This week, 12th May 2025, Fashion-Enter Ltd head office, factory and learning facility welcomed students from a variety of schools and colleges to gain firsthand experience of an ethical, apparel factory. The group seminars and tours were led by Fashion-Enter Ltd Director, Caroline Ash and each session was adapted in-line with the students specific studies.
Caroline said: “This week it was great to welcome Sandy Secondary School, a new client, to our facilities this week! The textiles students were a pleasure to host, and they really enjoyed exploring the factory and our AI centre during the tour.
“Next, we were pleased to host another new client, Upton Hall School, whose A-level business students were able to link our processes to their studies. The group showed great enthusiasm and appreciated seeing business concepts in action, gaining a unique perspective on the industry.
“To wrap up the week, we hosted Arkansas College of Business from the US. Having had a pre-visit call with the professor, I was able to tailor the seminar to their specific needs and assign relevant research tasks. The session was a huge success, with the students thoroughly enjoying the experience – a fantastic way to end the week!”
