[TC]² Graduates its 14th Student Intern Class
The eight week [TC]² student intern program culminated on July 26, 2007, with business plans presentations by intern teams. Interns were tasked with creating a product, identifying a target market, outlining sales and marketing strategies with promotional materials, and presenting a budget with sales forecasts.
Student Interns are rising seniors from U.S. universities who are selected by a committee of the American Apparel and Footwear Association’s Human Resources Leadership Council. During the eight week internship, students attended the full spectrum of [TC]² seminar offerings; completed various project assignments; visited several companies for facility tours; and met with industry professionals to discuss the state of the sewn products industry and its future direction.
