Job Details

The item we will be designing and manufacturing will be, sunproof hats for children. (After my first year in business, I will be moving into designing hats for adults.) The material we will be using blocks 98% of UVA & UVB rays, which will effectively prevent sunburns and overheating. If I can get enough funding and highly skilled interns, I will also be including matching shrugs for girls and matching capes for boys. I will provide all materials and some patterns. Also, I am very open to having your students come up with their own creative, imaginative designs, rather than just repeating my patterns. The experience and qualifications I am looking for are as follows:

* Need to have English as their first language

* East Indian / Asian students who were born and raised in Canada and who speak

English as well as their Mother tongue would be very welcome*

* Knowledge of and access to Gerber pattern making programs

* Access to own sewing machine

* Driver's license with no demerit points

* Eager to create original designs

* Ability to work without constant supervision

* Hours worked are up to each person. Minimum of 20 hats per week is expected

* Internship would be for a 3 month period

* Must be a Non-Smoker

Desirable qualifications but not necessary

* Knowledge of a second language

*Access to a car

(* Please note: I am not trying to discriminate against any particular ethnicity. It has simply been my life experience that growing up in the same cultural environment, makes understanding one another, that much easier)
