A Junior production manager works within the fashion branch of industry. This can be within a business process outsourcing, wholesale, or retail organisation. This can involve a company developing & selling products of its own ‘label’ and/or having products custom-made to be sold as a ‘private label’. Furthermore the resources and parts can also be bought by the company itself. In such a concept, only production is outsourced.

A Junior stylist can work in an integrated ready-to-wear company or in a business process outsourcing chain, in a department where collection items are developed and made. This can be done by a design studio or a freelancer.

After graduation, you can move on to various English-taught higher vocational education programmes like:

• AMFI - Amsterdam Fashion Institute (Amsterdam)
• Fashion and Textile Technologies - Saxion Hogeschool (Enschede)
• TMO- Fashion Business School (Doorn)
• Artez (Arnhem), HKU (Utrecht), WdKA (Rotterdam)
• Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Maastricht)
• Fontys Lifestyle Studies (Tilburg)
• VIA - Design, Branding and Marketing, Fabric textile technologies (Denmark)
• Design Academie (Eindhoven)

This is a broad programme aimed at Fashion Management (Junior Product Manager) as well as Fashion Design (Junior Stylist).

The programme consists of 'blocks' or projects. In each block a realistic problem is solved. The lessons will help you tackle these problems. We will have guest lecturers from the fashion world, and you will also work with e-learning.

Internships will be followed at internationally oriented companies in the Netherlands and - further on in programme - abroad. Each year of study usually consists of five lesson periods.

In addition to the tuition fee (€ 1168,-) you have to take into account the following costs:

Basic equipment school

The Summa Fashion programmes largely consist of practical lessons. Summa College partly provides the basic equipment (products and tools/materials) you need to follow these lessons. It is useful to also have some of these materials at home, so that you can practice your professional skills at home and at the internship company.

Books, software licenses and work material package

An overview of the total costs for the coming school year can be found centrally at Studers no later than July 1st. To give you an idea: look at the costs of the current school year. Summa College determines the specifications, but you can choose where you buy the educational materials.
In cooperation and consultation with Fashion teaching staff, we have compiled a material package, which is required for Fashion students. Lucas Vakmaterialen offers this package at a very competitive package price.

Laptop

This programme requires students to have a laptop at their disposal. Please make sure your laptop has the correct specifications, which you can download here.

In the second year you can choose what programme you want to specialise in: Fashion Management (Junior Product Manager) or Fashion Design (Junior Stylist).
