Getting into an industry as competitive as the fashion industry can be daunting! But here at TaF.tc, we’re working hard to make sure this process is as seamless as it can be for you.

We’ve developed programmes, platforms, and various types of support to assist your own unique journey. So whether you’re keen to further your studies in Paris, or finally launch that shoe brand you’ve always dreamt of starting, read on as we have something to offer each of you.

First, let’s find out what your needs are! Are you:

  1. Interested in a career in the fashion industry?
  2. An entrepreneur who has or wants to start your own fashion business?
  3. Thinking of furthering your studies?
  4. Unsure yet? (or Others)

1. CAREER PATHWAY

If you’re someone applying for an internship or job in the fashion industry, tap onto our network! TaF.tc is known for our industry-wide connections and various work-and-study opportunities with partners like Lidl, Ghim Li, VF Corporation, Bodynits and more.

If you are a student who just finished school…

Our Fashion Internship Programme might be just for you! You can further upskill yourself and gain in-depth industry knowledge in Fashion by taking our intensive 4-month Fashion Diploma, and practice what you’ve learnt in a 3-month on-site internship. Often, these internships also turn into full-time positions, and this is just one way to get your foot into the fashion industry. Learn more about our internship programme here

If you are looking to switch jobs into fashion…

Check out our Career Conversion Programme (CCP)! Take our Fashion Diploma at TaF.tc, develop the necessary skills and qualification to work in the fashion industry, and work in a full-time position for 6 - 12 months with one of our partners. 

Our 2018 Art of Shoes Competition winner and Footwear Diploma graduate, Eshton Chua took the CCP programme with us and is currently still working at ALDO! After a short stint with ALDO in 2019, he was hired as a full-time Visual Merchandiser. Find out about CCPs here!

2. ENTREPRENEURIAL PATHWAY

Working in the industry is one thing, but starting your own fashion business from scratch is definitely no walk in the park and we get that!

If you’re taking your first step into starting your very own fashion or alteration business, footwear brand or bag line, here is some support we have to assist you in your journey!

If you want to start an alteration business from home…

If you’d like to offer tailoring services from the comfort of your own home, TaF.tc has started its very own web application, AlterAround, that connects local seamstresses to anyone looking to alter their clothing.

This means you can tailor anytime anywhere, at your own convenience and pace!

Do not worry if you do not have the necessary sewing and business skills to start your alteration business yet! Everyone has to take our AlterAround Bundle, which will train you in both sewing and entrepreneurship to help you be your very own business owner. 

What’re you waiting for - start your alteration journey today!

3. CONTINUE YOUR EDUCATION ABROAD

Study Trip to Paris

For those of you who want to further your education at a prestigious university abroad, TaF.tc has a series of partnerships and accreditation agreements with schools in London, Paris, Milan, New York and more!

If you are a graduate of our robust Advanced Diploma in Fashion Technology, you will have the opportunity to fast-track your education into the second year of Fashion degree programmes from these reputable institutions. Learn more about our different partners and programmes on our accreditation website.

If you would like to speak to our friendly customer service team about this, feel free to WhatsApp us or drop us a call at 6011 8066. Alternatively, you can also register your interest for our yearly Paris trips here.

4. STILL FIGURING IT OUT?

Finally, if you’re still wrapping your head around what it is you’re looking for, that’s fine, and there are many in the same boat as you!

What I’d suggest is to tap onto TaF.tc’s resources to help you discover your direction. Our very own trainers have over 20-30 years of experience training and designing for companies like Calvin Klein, Abercrombie & Fitch, Polo Ralph Lauren, and more. Many also have their own businesses and many more have taken fashion degree programmes abroad.

You can also speak to our programme advisors for their detailed knowledge about the programmes we offer and how they can help you get where you want to in your journey into fashion. Feel free to WhatsApp us or drop us a call at 6011 8066 for more information.
