As part of the Fashion Technology Academy’s commitment to industry-ready learning, senior staff create a Next Steps IAG (information, advice, and guidance) session to ensure that each learner is on their chosen path, and to establish whether the FTA can help and support them further with their sister company, FashionCapital.co.uk.
On 13.01.2025, Lan Leeder, Head of Education, held a Next Steps IAG class and engaged with the London learners to discuss ways forward.

Topics included:
· What fashion/vocational courses are available
· Fashion apprenticeship
· Studio space to rent
· The Fashion Studio
· Upskill with digital training
· How to start your own brand
· Free workshops and masterclasses and much, much more
Lan Leeder quoted: “This session was highly interactive, featuring excellent questions, comments, and observations. Everyone is eager to learn more and is interested in the opportunities available after the course.”
Feedback from the group included:
“I gained a lot of knowledge!
“I got so much information from the production process, and learning the different stages was great! Thank you for such clear and friendly teaching! I really appreciate it!”
