Interviews.

Interviews with fashion students, professors, fashion industry professionals, fashion graduates, etc., about the current state of fashion, as well as discussions about the willingness to add business courses, and research about the direction of fashion graduates seeking employment. Or a free session on how schools can find better ways to help to graduate students deal with the psychological problems they face after graduation.

Interviews with UAL graduate support & career support:

1. Have ever received any emails or questions or answers about students having difficulty finding a job or being anxious about the difficulties they are experiencing?

2. Has it ever occurred there or has anyone suggested giving fashion students a little more course placement in order to fill the industry saturation and give students more possibilities in the direction of future employment options?

3. As I have studied at UAL for a long time, I am well aware of UAL’s mode of teaching. Has there been any thought of adding optional sub-specialties for students to choose from, in addition to their main studies? 

I contacted UAL Graduate Support and careers-support :

Waiting for a reply…

Transition:

But when I mailed Ual graduate support and career support to ask if anything was being done, they replied that they couldn’t answer my question and that sensitive information was involved and would need to be approved by the ethics committee. This shows that indeed the University is in a quandary about this matter.

Change Point

Instead of emailing the university’s job search department and asking them about these sensitive topics, it would be better to make contact with them and build relationships to help each other. The event was an opportunity for fashion students, people wanting to enter the fashion industry from other sectors, and fashionistas of all kinds to recognize the social realities they are now facing. For a fashion graduate, there is no longer a choice us, how can we help fashion graduates have more of their own choices while putting down our posture and allowing everyone to look at their designs with humility.
