Vlisco supports talented tailors

Thirteen candidates of the Vlisco Group Tailor Academy Ghana recently graduated with certificates in Fashion Design in Accra.

The graduates started their training in August 2014.  Vlisco will employ some of the graduates in its tailoring workshop in Tema and facilitate placement with some of its work partners for others.

The academy seeks to support talented Ghanaian tailors, dressmakers and fashion designers to create a platform that connects African fashion talent and creativity with the knowledge of the Vlisco Group in the African and global fashion world.

This will be achieved through integrating education, funding, coaching and employment into a fashion facilitation system.

“For Vlisco Group, invigorating the African fashion world and the empowerment of women are the drivers for the Vlisco Group Tailor Academies” said Vlisco’s External Communications Manager, Tamara Schoon.
