Portobello Institute are offering a number of Business of Fashion programmes specifically designed to prepare you with the knowledge and skills needed for your chosen career in the fashion industry.
‘I get such a buzz when I see the expression of wonderment and delight on the students faces when we arrive at a London or Milan fashion Trade Show. Even though I bring the students every year it never gets old.’ – Anne Marie Mc Auley, Fashion Department Programme Manager.
“I think the great thing about Portobello Institute is that when you first start and they tell you that you’ll get internships and you can get jobs after the course, you actually do. There are so many colleges that say that and then the course ends and you have no idea where to even begin. They genuinely care about the students and they genuinely want to see them succeed afterwards.” – Business of Fashion past student, Rebecca Fox, who now works as an Administrative Buying Assistant at Pamela Scott.
Many of the leading fashion buying and merchandising departments participate and recruit directly from Portobello as a result of their involvement on our work placement and internship programmes. These practical placement elements support you to develop your skills and confidence and are key to gaining employment in the fashion industry.
