The council is working with training provider Fashion Enter Ltd and clothing company Ethically Sourced Products Ltd on the scheme. The pilot project will offer apprenticeships and accredited training for people working in the local textile industry. The new academy, based on the top floor of Ethically Sourced Products’ factory premises in Stonebridge Street will also work closely with local textiles and fashion manufacturing businesses.
