Fashion Internships

We know classroom experience isn't always enough to provide students with the competitive edge needed to enter the workforce, even when knowledgeable and practicing professionals teach classes. O'More College of Design wants you to have workplace experience before you graduate. For that reason, we require every student to complete at least one internship under professional supervision prior to earning a degree. That's a requirement, as well as a service, you won't find at too many colleges or universities. 

Each department's internship program reflects the needs of its students, but all internships must be approved and coordinated by the department chair, and all must total a minimum of 180 hours. Some are paid, some are not, but you are guaranteed to have industry experience before you enter the workplace, making your internship an investment with a strong return.
