Curious about a career in fashion?

Join us for an evening at JCI Institute designed for anyone considering a future in the fashion industry.

Tour the campus, meet our instructors, and hear an honest conversation about what it takes to build a creative career—from the opportunities and challenges to the education, experience, and mindset that help people succeed.

Whether you're just beginning to explore fashion or already know it's the direction you want to pursue, this is an opportunity to ask questions, learn from people who have built careers in the industry, and experience JCI for yourself.

What This Experience Includes

The fashion industry is often seen through the lens of runway shows, social media, and trend cycles. The reality is much broader—and filled with opportunities for creative people with different strengths, interests, and ambitions.

The evening begins with a guided tour of JCI Institute, giving you the chance to explore our fashion studios, creative spaces, and campus before joining a live panel discussion featuring Fashion Program Director Danielle, Director of Design and instructor Jason, and JCI graduate and instructor Jaz (GM & Senior Business Strategist at Hunter & Hare) .

Together, they'll share their own career journeys, discuss the many paths available within the fashion industry, and answer your questions about studying fashion, building experience, and navigating the transition from education to professional practice.

You'll also hear honest conversations about some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding careers in fashion, what employers are really looking for, and how education can help you develop both the creative and professional skills needed to build a sustainable career.

Who This Is For

Anyone considering a future in fashion—including recent high school graduates, career changers, aspiring designers, entrepreneurs, stylists, buyers, brand builders, and creative people who want to better understand the opportunities available within the industry.

Whether you're exploring your options or already planning your next step, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what studying fashion at JCI looks like and where it can lead.
