Fashion Forum

You are the fashion industry experts, and I need your input! I am looking for any and all suggestions on how to help fashion design students make the transition from school to the real world. Any information you provide will be used solely to help fashion students jump-start their careers in the fashion industry. Each survey is only 10 questions long, so it should take you no more than 3 minutes to complete.

Please fill out this survey if you are a current fashion design student: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=gQail_2frHkbRjQXB03WhpKQ_3d_3d

Please fill out this survey if you are a fashion school graduate: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=2DVndNfcKDUKHuGgxeghAg_3d_3d

Thank you!

lame. lame. lame. lame.

dont worry carolyn, I can appreciate what your trying to do. Just don't go crazy with the post button.

I dont fit into any of those 2 categories so I would say start up an industry network to offer short term internships. Make sure they are reputable and dont exploit the students by doing mundane things or stealing their creative inputs. Get them to draw up their internship structure as to what the students will learn in that period, not just how to make coffee. At the same time you have to offer something of value to those who take in these students....as to what to offer i have no idea.
