This fall, an innovative partnership came full circle. On September 30th, three apprentices graduated from a new industrial sewing apprenticeship, officially sponsored by Tad More Tailoring, the first registered program of its kind in the area. The Workforce Connection proudly played a key role in coordinating and submitting the apprenticeship for registration with the U.S. Department of Labor, helping bring Tad More’s vision for training and sustainability to life.
The program offers a well-rounded experience, blending technical sewing skills with entry-level workplace training to prepare participants for long-term success. Tad More’s focus on reducing waste and maximizing resources gives the program a unique edge, combining job readiness with a commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.
We are proud to have supported this collaborative effort and even prouder to see the first cohort cross the finish line.
The graduates are pictured above and below, along with Sarene Alsharif of Tad More Tailoring and Alterations (below right).
