A PLACE TO THRIVE
We are Hybrid of a DESIGN COLLEGE, VOCATIONAL SCHOOL and APPRENTICESHIP.
We train in design, production and distribution of fashion goods such as footwear, bags, shoes, woven clothes as well as household goods.
​
The current workforce is ageing simultaneously and the know-how that experts possess must be passed on to new generations.
​
​
The changing needs in training in terms of quality and quantity makes it necessary to invest in human capacity building and sustainability.
​
​
Machines can do a lot but what makes the difference in quality is the final touch of the workers, so, the need to train skilled workers. We are committed to address the short and medium-term skills training needs of the sector through our sustainable upskilling and reskilling programs.
​
While building a high skilled workforce that is driven by innovation and youths, we are creating a greater gender balance in a seemingly male dominated industry.
POSITIONING STATEMENT
We teach the skills, mental frameworks, and tools to help young Africans capture their ideas and make them a reality in the fashion industry.
​
Only a highly qualified new generation of experts, able to make the best use of new technologies while building on traditional savoir faire, will ensure that buying fashion goods from African companies remains a guarantee of quality.
OUR MISSION
Raising reputable designers and entrepreneurs in the fashion industry in Africa.
OUR VISION
Our aim is not to serve, but to lead the fashion industry. Therefore, we are:
Disrupting the brick and mortar learning in fashion design,
Improving training process and quality of skills acquired,
Promoting equity of access to training for all genders and people of varying abilities.
We are committed to the United Nations Vision 2030 Goals
