Fashion Program Family & Consumer Science Department The Gateway to Your Future Family and Consumer Science Department Program Contact: Lynne Giovannetti Emerging careers in this high growth industry will require "state of the art" high tech training. Course Descriptions California's apparel industry is a major success story. It is an important, but often overlooked, contributor to the state's economy. San Francisco and Los Angeles are the largest centers for apparel manufacturing outside of New York City. One of the largest apparel wholesale markets in the world is the California Mart in Los Angeles. California apparel jobs have grown steadily with the success of the industry. Jobs increased in the 1990's, a time when the rest of the U.S. lost apparel jobs, and have even continued to grow. This is because the high-end tasks are performed here, such as computer aided design and pattern making, size grading, and color setting.   Sacramento City College 3835 Freeport Blvd * Sacramento * CA * 95822 This page was last updated: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 8:09:02 PM
