Is this suitable for you?
This internship is only suitable if you have a qualification in Fashion Design or Clothing & Production Management. If your qualification is in another field (such as Business Administration, IT, HR, Finance, Engineering, etc.), you would not meet the advertised minimum requirements.
If you tell me what qualification you have (or are currently studying), I can let you know whether you’re eligible and suggest other graduate programmes that match your field.
