5 YEAR PLAN

My work placement at Debenhams has really helped me to decide the route that I would like to go down within fashion. I am now more clear on the kind of company that I would like to work for i.e. an independent designer or smaller brand where I will be able to have more contribution to the production of the clothing and work in a smaller team and more closely with the people around me. 
I plan to go ahead with the third year to attain a BA hons in Fashion design. During this year I will complete the three month work placement. I am hoping this will be a good opportunity for me to make some contacts in the industry and to develop my skills in the area which I choose to work. 


I am hoping that after I graduate I will be able to get a job whether it be with a smaller company or a larger company like debenhams at first so I can gain more experience working in the industry. After a year if I am not completely well suited to the role I will feel in a better position to be more specific when choosing the right job.


Once I have secured a job where I feel I am well suited I will continue outside of my job to develop myself as a brand and after having gained enough experience working in the industry I will be able to start thinking about creating my own business based on the knowledge I will have gained.
