Take a Seat With Us: Fully Funded Courses in Sewing, Upholstery & Textiles
The Australian Furniture Association have teamed up to support the Multi-Industry Collaboration Group (MICG) to create the latest job-skills taster program – ‘Take A Seat With Us.’
The 12-week course is fully funded, which means it is free for all participants and is supported by the 5 industry groups including the furniture, caravan, boating, automotive and specialist textiles industries.
