Help Us Shape PATTERN – A New Textile Training and Manufacturing Program

The New River Gorge Regional Development Authority and the WV Hive are excited to introduce PATTERN — a new textile training and manufacturing initiative launching in Fall 2025 in Beckley, WV. As part of this effort, we’re developing an Industrial Sewing Training Program, and your feedback is essential to ensure it meets the needs and interests of our community. Please take a few moments to share your thoughts and help us design a program that truly fits.

This 192-hour course (6-10 week program) will teach hands-on professional sewing skills and open the door to employment opportunities in the cut-and-sew industry. Help us design a program that works for YOU.
