About The Bridge Institute (Program)
In Nigeria and across Africa, traditional fashion school curricula often fall short, and international university placements have become increasingly scarce with tuition fees soaring above £9,000 per year. Students seeking higher education in fashion face significant challenges in finding viable career pathways. Meanwhile, there is a growing demand for management skills tailored to Africa’s fashion and creative industry.
The Bridge Program focuses on training fashion professionals by equipping those seeking better-paying jobs with the skills needed to excel and advance in the fashion industry. Additionally, the program enhances management skills for employees of fashion businesses, ensuring they have the managerial skills necessary to thrive and contribute to business growth.
Fostering an entrepreneurial mindset is another key focus of The Bridge Program. It offers entrepreneurship training that encourages participants to approach their roles with passion and innovation, regardless of their career goals. The program also emphasizes hands-on practical experience, highlighting the importance of gaining real-world experience within a company, even for those aspiring to start their businesses.
