Description

Broaden your horizon and learn the variety of jobs available in the fashion industry, how to get your first entry level job and how to build your career. Have you ever walked past a shop, read a magazine or watched a show and admired the fashion in it and wondered what it would be like to work in the fashion industry? You see famous designers and aspire to be one or you are not creative but still want to be around fashion everyday for work? This is the perfect course for you! You will learn:

  • A broad overview of the fashion industry

  • The 70+ different types of fashion companies you could work for. It is not just fashion brands but so much more! We go through the various types, along with real life examples of companies that fit under these companies.

This course is the most comprehensive course in the world related to fashion career planning. How can I make such a statement? It was the course I searched for but could never find. This is information accumulated over years of education and experience and actually collaborating and working with these various teams as someone on the product team. It took months of additional research and when I wrote this course and saw it in front of me, I was surprised at how many different jobs and types of companies you could work for.

This course would be useful to someone who is unsure of their future career path and wants to get a broad overview of the industry and understand the different roles and companies you could work for in the future.

If you already have a career or job but dislike it and want to know what else is out there this could also suit you.

If you already know you want to work in the fashion industry but not in design, this will be very useful for you in understanding the other jobs you could do.

If you work in retail and want to move to a head office role this would be great for you.

If you work for a small head office e.g. a start up and are curious to see what other jobs are available this would be good for you.

If you already have been working in the fashion industry for many years (in head offices) this will not be suitable for you.

This course can help you know what is available and how to start career planning so in a few years you can work your way towards your dream job!

Who this course is for:

  • High school and college students, people who want to work in the fashion industry, people transitioning between industries
  • If you already have a career or job but dislike it and want to know what else is out there this could also suit you
  • If you already know you want to work in the fashion industry but not in design, this will be very useful for you in understanding the other jobs you could do
