The Sewing Studio, your haute spot for learning to sew, offers two types of unpaid internships for sewing enthusiasts and post-secondary students.
IN-STUDIO: Join our Toronto location for a four-month internship. You'll guide and support students who come in for Free Studio Time and assist managers with office duties ranging from handling registrations to prepping the studio for classes and corresponding with past and present students. In-studio internships require eight hours of work each week on Sundays and Wednesdays from 2 - 6 p.m. You're required to be at the Toronto studio for one of those days each week, and the other day you'll work from home.
VIRTUAL: Be a part of our global online project, The Sewing Studio Online. We're launching a website extension that features sewing classes online. This internship is done by electronic correspondence, so you must have daily access to email. You must be a stickler for detail and be interested in taking on a variety of projects that include researching, blogging, and writing video scripts.
What's in it for you?
- Work for a growing company with other young, creative minds.
- Add industry-related experience to your fashion or sewing resume.
- During your internship, you may use the studio for your personal projects at any time and take our courses at no cost.
- The Sewing Studio hires internally. When we need a new instructor or someone to take on custom sewing projects or someone to fill a position in the office, we look to our past and present interns. Will you be one that stands out?
Internship requirements
