In addition, many graduates go on to find jobs teaching in retail stores or volunteering in schools and other venues on their own. By training teachers, the council is fulfilling the mandate of its members to raise awareness of yarn related skills such as knitting and crocheting while reaching and teaching new generations these worthwhile skills.
