New Digitizers Joining The ATW Digitizing Team As Apprentices!
We are happy to welcome several new members to Holly's digitizing team from her latest apprentice class. For those of you who are new to reading our newsletter, the apprentice class is an intense 8 week training course we run once or twice a year online. The class is most similar to Army "boot-camp" with students learning and digitizing at a frenzied pace throughout the course.
The people who excel in the class are invited to stay on for a 1 year apprenticeship with Holly to learn what running a digitizing business is really like. The apprentice digitizers are paid for digitizing for ATW and continue to receive Holly's coaching while they learn.
The hardest part of being in the apprentice class is not learning to digitize, it's learning to balance the demands of the course with the "stuff" that happens in life at the same time. It's more of a marathon than a sprint because students get a taste of what it's like to deal with the day-in and day-out challenges that come along while trying to digitize for a business at the same time.
What is the "life" that happens along the way? Invariably embroidery machines will break, computers will stop working, files will be lost, people will be sick, family members have major issues, job demands get in the way, etc. We know ALL these things will happen to students because they happen to us. And the hardest of the 3 "ups" is to "keep up" when other things are happening.
Congratulations to the new team members...
