The 2024 Graduates of the Husky Energy Tailoring Skills Program for Women

The Husky Energy Tailoring (HET) Skills Program for Women has been completed this year, and 29 out of 31 trainees graduated last August 16th after three months of training. The 2 remaining trainees left for personal reasons. The program proceeded smoothly with support from the local community and the management experience of the program team, including the project manager, the trainer, and the local coordinator. The program was considered successful based on the trainees’ performance. Most trainees can use sewing machines and cutting tools, although a few still need to improve their measuring skills through more practice.

During the program, the trainees were taught to make five types of sewing, including Tibetan female and male robes, women’s robes without sleeves, vests, and shirts. While all trainees can independently make robes, many found making shirts challenging. As part of the graduation ceremony, we reviewed the learning concepts and recognized the best performers to receive sewing machines. The top five trainees were selected based on attendance and clothing-making skills.

All trainees expressed happiness for the winners and their achievements. Three trainees received assistant machines, and five trainees were given irons based on votes. We confirmed the general attendance of the program to calculate the subsidy each trainee would receive. Following this, we took photos and interviewed the trainees and the trainer. Local officials and community members attended the graduation ceremony and expressed their support and congratulations. Finally, Bason (the program manager) visited three families of the trainees, concluding the program.

The program trainer expressed gratitude for the support they received, especially from the village women’s director. The trainer acknowledged the strong interest shown by the trainees and was excited to witness their progress in just a few months. “I am very grateful that you have been helping so many women from the rural areas. As the trainer I am proud of making a difference through our ways. The training has been going very well with the support of locals and I should say a special thanks to the village women’s director. The program wouldn’t go so well without her support and assistance.”
