It is imperative that we change the narrative associated with youth in foster care.
Day One: start by building foundational job skills and industry knowledge. All students begin by sharpening their daily tools and competencies to succeed in any work environment: from communication to personal organization.
From there, program participants gain full access to LA Apparel Services in-depth, accelerated online course and technical support from fashion student-mentors.
After initial learning milestones are met, students will dive deep in their areas of interest under the wide umbrella of fashion apparel entrepreneurship, manufacturing, and operations. Students continue learning and creating real-world connections while exploring various aspects of industry and skills.
Apprenticeships offer paid, hands on training with a business partnering with Create MoLove. Students will be encouraged to deepen their learning and further cultivate new skills while flexing their creativity and utilizing what Los Angeles has to offer.
This is where students put what they have learned to work to formulate and execute their own business or competitively enter the industry with skills. Our goal is to be in position to offer underwriting to incubate and launch participant's realized fashion brands in the real world.
