In June 2020: SIR. and The Batchelor Institute continued their partnership with the development of an ongoing tiered mentorship program with Institute students, comprising of lectures with the SIR. team to help students understand the various aspects of a fashion house, from design to day-to-day business operations. SIR. is committed to expanding their existing relationship with the Batchelor Institute for Indigenous Tertiary Education to include ongoing support with a multi-tiered immersive mentorship program.
