We recognize a critical gap in our industry: the lack of focus on women-centered products, inclusion in the creation process, and storytelling that highlights women's experiences across industries. We've been listening – you don't want just a pink and black colorway or a full-size run of men's product. We're not here to answer what women want but to provide a solution with a lasting impact. Introducing WIN (Women In Industries) @ PLC Detroit, where we champion women's focused product creation and innovation. Supporting the original vision of the College and founder, Dr. Violet T Lewis, WIN at PLC Detroit is a strategic approach and framework designed to empower, support, and optimize the professional success and advancement of all women in industries. + Women-Focused Projects + Women-Centered Storytelling + Open to all to apply Read more about WIN at https://lnkd.in/gBSWBpdh Stay tuned for the launch of our first certificate program with a WIN pathway focus. Together, we will redesign our industry and help all WIN @ PLC.
