Description:

You have the desire to make a difference. You are confident enough to reach outside the box; and stepping away from your comfort zone. You have a burning passion for design and fashion. Then you have a mind built for exploring fashion as an entrepreneur. The goal of the course is to form the ability to recognize opportunities within the world’s dynamic fashion business environment, which can send you global in seconds, viral in minutes, and transform you into a household name in days. You will be introduced to the importance of developing a brand, branding, and brand imaging. Grasping the talents needed to identify a profitable product and then targeting the right target market for that product. Understanding the necessity to have influence over your logistics, focusing on the distribution channels you can use to procure your product, as well as, make your product available to the consumer. You will explore ways to establish attainable goals through strategic planning, discover creative promotional ideas, and communicate the advantages and disadvantages of self-employment.
