Course Title Textile Testing and Quality Control in Garments

Objectives and Employable skills and hands-on practice for Textile Testing and Quality
Expectations Control in Garments
The objectives of this course are to: Acquire the operating skill and knowledge
of garment Manufacturing Process.

After completion of the course the students will gain details knowledge about
quality, quality control, quality assurance and statistical quality control.
The students will acquire knowledge about different dimension of quality and
factors which affect quality and how they benefit the manufacturer and
customers. They will be able to realise which fiber properties are suitable for
required quality of yarn and also will be able to decide which test result is
acceptable from the given test results.

The students will gather knowledge about various yarn faults, fabric faults,
dyeing faults and defects of apparels. They will also gain knowledge of
different types of fiber testing, yarn testing, fabric testing equipment and their
applications. They can assess various methods and test results of yarn, fabric,
dyeing and apparel testing.

They will be able to inspect the produced apparel on the basis of different
inspection system commonly used. They will have a vast knowledge on
standard and different series of renowned standard and process of
standardization.

Main Expectations:
In short, the course under reference should be delivered by professional
instructors in such a robust hands-on manner that the trainees are comfortably
able to employ their skills for earning money (through wage/self-employment)
at its conclusion.
This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the traditional training
practices in vogue and underscores an expectation that a market-centric
approach will be adopted as the main driving force while delivering it. The
instructors should therefore be experienced enough to be able to identify the
training needs for the possible market roles available out there. Moreover, they
should also know the strengths and weaknesses of each trainee to prepare
them for such market roles during/after the training.

i. Specially designed practical tasks to be performed by the trainees have

been included in the Annexure-I to this document. The record of all
tasks performed individually or in groups must be preserved by the
management of the training Institute clearly labeling name, trade,
2 | Testing and Quality Control in Garments
 session, etc so that these are ready to be physically inspected/verified
through monitoring visits from time to time. The weekly distribution of
tasks has also been indicated in the weekly lesson plan given in this
document.

ii. To materialize the main expectations, a special module on Job Search

& Entrepreneurial Skills has been included in the latter part of this
course (5th & 6th month) through which, the trainees will be made aware
of the Job search techniques in the local as well as international job
markets (Gulf countries). Awareness around the visa process and
immigration laws of the most favored labor destination countries also
form a part of this module. Moreover, the trainees would also be
encouraged to venture into self-employment and exposed to the main
requirements in this regard. It is also expected that a sense of civic
duties/roles and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the trainees to
make them responsible citizens of the country.

iii. A module on Work Place Ethics has also been included to highlight the
importance of good and positive behavior in the workplace in the line
with the best practices elsewhere in the world. An outline of such
qualities has been given in the Appendix to this document. Its
importance should be conveyed in a format that is attractive and
interesting for the trainees such as through PPT slides +short video
documentaries. Needless to say that if the training provider puts his
heart and soul into these otherwise non-technical components, the
image of the Pakistani workforce would undergo a positive
transformation in the local as well as international job markets.

To maintain interest and motivation of the trainees throughout the course,

modern techniques such as:
 Motivational Lectures
 Success Stories
 Case Studies

These techniques would be employed as an additional training tool wherever

possible (these are explained in the subsequent section on Training
Methodology).

Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be done

objectively at various stages of the training and a proper record of the same
will be maintained. Suffice to say that for such evaluations, practical tasks
would be designed by the training providers to gauge the problem-solving
abilities of the trainees.

(i) Motivational Lectures

The proposed methodology for the training under reference employs
motivation as a tool. Hence besides the purely technical content, a trainer is
required to include elements of motivation in his/her lecture. To inspire the
trainees to utilize the training opportunity to the full and strive towards
professional excellence. Motivational lectures may also include general topics
such as the importance of moral values and civic role & responsibilities as a
Pakistani. A motivational lecture should be delivered with enough zeal to
3 | Testing and Quality Control in Garments
 produce a deep impact on the trainees. It may comprise of the following:

● Clear Purpose to convey the message to trainees effectively.

● Personal Story to quote as an example to follow.
● Trainees Fit so that the situation is actionable by trainees and not
represent a just idealism.
● Ending Points to persuade the trainees on changing themselves.

A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity, and spark
the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more.

The impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others commonly

visible in increased class participation ratios. It increases the trainees’
willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for a longer time without
boredom and loss of interest because they can see in their mind's eye where
their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3 -10 years)
and long term (more than 10 years).

As this tool is expected that the training providers would make arrangements
for regular well planned motivational lectures as part of a coordinated strategy
interspersed throughout the training period as suggested in the weekly lesson
plans in this document.

Course-related motivational lectures online link is available in Annexure-II.

(ii) Success Stories

Another effective way of motivating the trainees is using Success Stories. Its
inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at regular intervals has been
recommended till the end of the training.

A success story may be disseminated orally, through a presentation, or using

a video/documentary of someone that has risen to fortune, acclaim, or brilliant
achievement. A success story shows how a person achieved his goal through
hard work, dedication, and devotion. An inspiring success story contains
compelling and significant facts articulated clearly and easily comprehendible
words. Moreover, it is helpful if it is assumed that the reader/listener knows
nothing of what is being revealed. The optimum impact is created when the
story is revealed in the form of:-
● Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by the training
institute)
● Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high-quality videos must
be arranged by the training institute)

It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant high-quality

success stories for inclusion in the training as suggested in the weekly lesson
plan given in this document.

Suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story and its various
shapes can be seen in Annexure III.

(iii) Case Studies

Where a situation allows, case studies can also be presented to the trainees to
4 | Testing and Quality Control in Garments
 widen their understanding of the real-life specific problem/situation and to
explore the solutions.

In simple terms, the case study method of teaching uses a real-life case
example/a typical case to demonstrate a phenomenon in action and explain
theoretical as well as practical aspects of the knowledge related to the same. It
is an effective way to help the trainees comprehend in depth both the
theoretical and practical aspects of the complex phenomenon in depth with
ease. Case teaching can also stimulate the trainees to participate in
discussions and thereby boost their confidence. It also makes the classroom
atmosphere interesting thus maintaining the trainee interest in training till the
end of the course.

Depending on suitability to the trade, the weekly lesson plan in this document
may suggest case studies be presented to the trainees. The trainer may adopt
a PowerPoint presentation or video format for such case studies whichever is
deemed suitable but only those cases must be selected that are relevant and
of a learning value.

The Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully analyze the

cases.

For this purpose, they must be encouraged to inquire and collect specific
information/data, actively participate in the discussions, and intended solutions
to the problem/situation.

Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: -

i. A good quality trade-specific documentary ( At least 2-3
documentaries must be arranged by the training institute)
ii. Health &Safety case studies (2 cases regarding safety and
industrial accidents must be arranged by the training institute)
iii. Field visits( At least one visit to a trade-specific major industry/
site must be arranged by the training institute)

Schedule Mentor Should do

Welcome: Short welcome and ask the Mentor to introduce
5 min him/herself.
Provide a brief welcome to the qualification for the
class.
Note for Instructor: Throughout this session, please
monitor the session to ensure nothing inappropriate is
being happened.
Icebreaker: Start your session by delivering an icebreaker, this will
10 min enable you and your team to start to build rapport and
create a team presentation for the tasks ahead.
The icebreaker below should work well at introductions
and encouraging communication, but feel free to use
others if you think they are more appropriate. It is
important to encourage young people to get to know
each other and build strong team links during the first
hour; this will help to increase their motivation and
communication throughout the sessions.
Introduction & Provide a brief introduction of the qualification to the
Onboarding: class and play the “Onboarding Video or Presentation”.
20mins In your introduction cover the following:
1. Explanation of the program and structure.
(Kamyabjawan Program)
2. How you will use your communication skills in your
professional life.
3. Key contacts and key information – e.g. role of
teacher, mentor, and SEED. Policies and procedures
(user agreements and “contact us” section). Everyone
to go to the Group Rules tab at the top of their screen,
read out the rules, and ask everyone to verbally agree.
Ensure that the consequences are clear for using the
platform outside of hours. (9am-8pm)
4. What is up next for the next 2 weeks ahead so young
people know what to expect (see pages 5-7 for an
overview of the challenge). Allow young people to ask
any questions about the session topic.
Team Activity Planning: MENTOR: Explain to the whole team that you will now
18 | Testing and Quality Control in Garments
30 minutes be planning how to collaborate for the first and second
collaborative Team Activities that will take place outside
of the session. There will not be another session until
the next session so this step is required because
communicating and making decisions outside of a
session requires a different strategy that must be
agreed upon so that everyone knows what they are
doing for this activity and how.
● “IDENTIFY ENTREPRENEURS” TEAM
ACTIVITY
● “BRAINSTORMING SOCIAL PROBLEMS”
TEAM ACTIVITY”
As a team, collaborate on a creative brainstorm on
social problems in your community. Vote on the areas
you feel most passionate about as a team, then write
down what change you would like to see happen.
Make sure the teams have the opportunity to talk about
how they want to work as a team through the activities
e.g. when they want to complete the activities, how to
communicate, the role of the project manager, etc.
Make sure you allocate each young person a specific
week that they are the project manager for the weekly
activities and make a note of this.
Type up notes for their strategy if this is helpful - it can
be included underneath the Team Contract.

Session Close: MENTOR: Close the session with the opportunity for
5 minutes anyone to ask any remaining questions.
Instructor:
Facilitate the wrap-up of the session. A quick reminder
of what is coming up next and when the next session
will be.
