INQUIRE ABOUT SCHOOL PROGRAMSPURPOSE
Creativity can be a pathway to skills, careers and enterprise.
Young people with creative ability do not always have clear pathways connecting that talent to education, entrepreneurship, technical careers and the broader creative economy.
Youth Fashion Education uses fashion and product development as an applied learning environment. Students explore how an idea becomes a product—and how design connects to production, mathematics, financial literacy, technology, storytelling, entrepreneurship and commerce.
The objective is broader than teaching fashion. It is about helping young people see creativity as a pathway to economic participation.
