Level 3
Our workshops are designed to build upon each other to guide you through your career. Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between, we offer four levels to help you get exactly what you need.
Level 1 is our Foundational level, a perfect start for beginners or those looking to refresh core concepts. After completing a Foundational workshop, you will gain a solid understanding of the topic and learn key terms and concepts.
Level 2 is our Practical level, focused on applying knowledge in real-world ways. In a Practical workshop we will review basic processes before diving into deeper connections.
Level 3 is our Analytical level, designed for professionals ready to problem-solve and connect concepts. In an Analytical workshop we will analyze and problem solve and learn to identify how a product was made without additional information.
Level 4 is our Integral workshop level, for advanced experts aiming to master cotton’s integrated processes. In an Integral workshop, you will learn multiple ways to achieve a similar goal and how to make choices keeping cost, time, or process availability in mind.
