34 Engagement with Employers
The Programme Team engages with employers on a regular basis, through a variety of means.
As the majority of tutors on this programme are professional practitioners they bring with them a
wealth of current information and a practitioner’s perspective on the rapidly changing industry.
There is a programme of guest lectures, company visits, industry seminars and study visits to
international trade shows which further embed industry practices and enable students to form
valuable links and contacts with potential employers.
Such industry collaborations produce outputs which may gain external visibility for students and their
work.
It is proposed that the postgraduate students will work closely with fashion industry experts within
their industry aligned project work in a similar manner that the Institute’s Milan courses have been
doing for some time. An excellent example being the Menswear course with Zegna and E-Fashion
Course with Yoox.
Over time, the London and Paris campuses will align all industry projects with an industry partner.
It is proposed that from 2012 Boudicca will be working on industry based projects with Women’s
wear specialist students as well as other designers / brands and industry specialist that have
already expressed interest in future collaborations.
We are in discussion with: Paul Smith and Robert Cary-Williams about further links.
