Objectives

·      To create an online database of fashion company profiles.

·      To review and collate relevant employability resources from a student perspective.

·      To interview a fashion industry recruiter to assess what they are looking for in fashion graduates.

·      To develop some ‘how to’ content- student instructions for using/the value of resources.

For this internship you will work with the Manchester Fashion Institute Employability Lead – the project will be remote, however there will be opportunities to meet on campus if students would like to do this. I am looking for students who are passionate about the fashion industry and would like to develop their confidence and employability skills through this internship. Good digital skills would be preferred though not essential.
