Project Overview
Duration: 20 weeks
OCN LEVEL 1 in Interpersonal Skills & Goal Setting
A fully accredited course for women who want to take the next step of setting achievable goals. This course covers discovering personal attributes, developing these skills and identifying how to set and achieve personal goals to aid progression.
6 Week Sewing Workshop
Workshops will develop practical experience such as how to use a sewing machine, as well as completing creative projects such as making a cushion and a tote bag. These newly acquired skills can be used at home as well. We will incorporate your skills into our Social Enterprise You Glow Girl where participants can get involved in learning about specialist You Glow Girl Machinery on training days. You will be able to make garments and sew labels onto garments and accessories.
OCN Level 2 Understanding Social Enterprise Course delivered by Supporting Communities
The course involves learning what a Social Enterprise is, the Social Economy and Social Purpose, Challenges and Opportunities of a Social Enterprise, Financing Social Enterprise and an Introduction to Developing Social Enterprise. After this course is completed there will be an opportunity to advance on to Level 3.
YOU GLOW GIRL Workshops
The participants will get involved with our Social Enterprise You Glow Girl. Here we design, make and sell garments of clothing to generate more income for GLOW. The group will be shown how to use our embroidery machine, printing machines, our heat press machine as well as the software used to design the garments. As the project progresses the group will be involved in helping complete orders for You Glow Girl.
