Apprenticeship
Our vision for a circular economy that turns local waste into local resource requires a local workforce that is innovative, enthusiastic, and highly skilled.
We've designed a 6-week apprenticeship program where junior makers receive training and mentorship from our lead designers. Apprentices develop skills specifically relevant to upcycling textiles and learn how to make ReLove Local products.
