About Sewing and Apparel Entrepreneurship

Whether you’re new to sewing, looking to build your skills, or already have sewing experience and want to explore the business side, this program provides hands-on training to help you discover what you can create and how to bring it to market.

Through hands-on projects, students will develop and produce their own products while gaining the knowledge and skills needed to successfully introduce them to the marketplace.
