It’s time for a fashion industry makeover. Welcome to ISAIC.
About us
ISAIC is breaking the apparel manufacturing industry mold. More than a sewing and innovation center, ISAIC is a fundamental new approach. A national resource for those committed to positive impact through responsible production of high-quality garments with solutions centered around people, education, talent force development and cutting-edge technology. With a training institute producing top talent, a learning factory focused on high quality domestic production, a commitment to right-shoring and reducing waste, ISAIC is innovating the future. IT’S TIME TO EMPOWER PEOPLE Students and employees are central to all we do because we believe sustainability starts with people. ISAIC’s proprietary curriculum and apprenticeship provide flexible options for stackable credits, certifications and paid on the job training with paths to high potential careers. The model is clear: people power ISAIC. IT’S TIME FOR DETROIT With a pipeline of well trained, highly skilled sewing specialists and advanced manufacturing technicians, the ISAIC talent force is key to this industry. Revolutionizing the way apparel is manufactured and providing the talent to make it happen is positioning Detroit as the place to do business. IT’S TIME TO CHANGE CLOTHES.

We are heartbroken to learn about the loss of one of our own, Jalen Welch. A graduate of the Fundamentals of Industrial Sewing and Production program in 2023, Jalen was a talented emerging designer whose creativity and passion left a mark on our community. Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Jalen's family, friends, and all those affected by the tragic events of this past weekend 🙏.

ISAIC’s training developer, Cassie, journeyed to Oklahoma to collaborate with Mine Safety Appliances (MSA) to optimize training for their team, who craft custom protective gear for firefighters 👩🚒. With MSA’s Made-To-Order approach, training can be complex, but we’re excited to help simplify the process with innovative tools and tailored solutions. #trainingdevelopment #textileandapparel #madetoorder

Our CEO, Jen Guarino, has had a busy few months traveling coast to coast for various summits and conventions 💭! Recently, she caught up with Brittany Dickinson, Director of Sustainability for Goodwill Industries International, at Goodwill’s first-ever Sustainability Summit in DC. Over 154 Goodwill organizations came together to explore #innovative ways to enhance the sustainability of their operations and make a greater impact in the communities they serve. 🌍 We were honored to have ISAIC represented in a panel discussion about textile #circularity and smart manufacturing. #Goodwill #GoodwillSummit2024 #ISAIC #ISAICDetroit
