Program Overview

We are partnered with an exciting and creative lifestyle company that has built brands all over the world with a focus on health, vitality, fashion, and has created icons in the industry for the past 20 years. During our program, you can choose what aspect of the industry you wish to experience and learn. The variety of options include photography, fashion design, advertising, mission-driven chic lifestyle, health & yoga, and so much more. For us, fashion and lifestyle make up literally everything we do and who we are.

While our head is definitely in the clouds, we are also very grounded with incredible skills to put together inventory, websites, e-commerce, fashion shows internationally, celebrity endorsements, create influencer campaigns, and all the geeky tech that holds the industry together. To get started with us, find your passion in the tech resources we have shared here and join the community once you have immersed. We look forward to collaborating with you.

Learning FAQ

We don't believe in time. Really, at all. Our programs allow you to start when you want and contribute as much or as little as you want. Learn to break free from solid guidelines & instead we want you to make decisions for yourself. Instead of asking this question, ask how passionate you are, yourself? What time commitment do you desire in this chapter of your life? Then, you'll have your answer.

No. None of our learning paths are paid. We consider these Experiential learning where you receive well over 80% education and training in brand new areas you have no understanding of, instead of mundane work. We are a non-profit with a very strong focus on providing learning opportunities, not labor. Read our Lifelong Learning page to understand why we recommend this approach.

Sort of. We are partnered with many corporations all over the world and we also hire for our own organization right from our interns. Will an offer be given to you? Statistics say "No" but your own performance and aptitude will answer that question for you and will most likely take three years before a formal offer is made to you. Yes, 3 years - you read that correctly.

Credit is determined by your Career Services department at your own Education Institute. This is handled on a case-by-case basis and we really encourage every intern to work directly with us & their career services department as an intermediary at every step of the way.

We are open to experiences with all demographics internationally. You don't have to be enrolled in school, no degree required, and no age limit. You will need a strong command of the English language and you will need to complete Orientation and maintain a high Curiosity Score with a burning passion for learning, having impact, and thriving on a team. Showing all of this with action and interactivity instead of with resumes or cover letters.

That is entirely up to you. We respect that you're getting your feet wet in the world of business and we want to leave things open-ended. Though, those who have the best success pick one area and focus only passionately for six months without looking back or changing their mind. Consistency and stability are rare qualities seen in new workforce. However, there is no pressure to change your mind or even dabble in as many projects as you want with us to see how things work.

Absolutely! We teach lifelong learning, and what fun would work be if you had to do it with strangers? You're welcome to start your journey with us alongside your friends and we also are certain you'll make friends inside the community once you immerse yourself. Feel free to share details about your interests to see if there are others in the community who want to study the same hours as you or who have similar goals and timelines for completing them - we are all very social.
