At Tapestry, attracting top talent is about more than describing a role and its responsibilities – it’s about giving early-career candidates a real glimpse into how they can unlock their full potential and contribute to an inclusive culture. That’s why internships and apprenticeships sit at the center of Tapestry’s talent strategy, not to the side. They bring different perspectives into Tapestry, as well as its brands, Coach and kate spade new york, while giving early-career talent hands-on experience, mentorship, and a clear sense of how they can continue to grow over time.

- Design Apprentice Program (12 months, full-time): Design-minded talent works side-by-side with seasoned designers, learn the full design process, and complete a final project. A portfolio is required, and applications are due February 2.

Year-round, Tapestry’s Talent Acquisition team works hard to make these pathways more inclusive and intentional – running hiring workshops to reduce bias, elevating retail recruiting, and partnering with schools like the High School of Fashion Industries and the College for Creative Studies to create more opportunities for the next generation of designers.
