How Do Fashion & Textiles Apprenticeships Vary?
Jobs in fashion vary greatly and, depending on how you choose to develop your fashion career, you could even end up working abroad, either for short trips or for a longer period. These trips could be so that you can observe and learn about fashion in other cultures but also so that you can source fabrics and other materials for your own designs.
Because you will be learning about textiles and other materials as well as the design aspect, you will be able to choose different pathways, depending on where you think your strengths and interests lie. So at Level 2, Intermediate Level, fashion industry jobs as Apprenticeships mean you will be learning a whole range of skills which will equip you to choose progress in a particular area.
