Plan

This programme will give young people a wonderful opportunity to work with a cross section of industry experts and give the participants a chance to learn more about the reality of running a fashion business.

The programme is under the Head for Business banner; it's a unique creative business support organisation, initiated by the National Theatre Education Department.

Young Enterprise Programme is an enterprise development service for young people age 16 – 25 years, which is informed by young people themselves. It is a sophisticated playground dedicated to the exploration of ideas. It aims to equip young people with practical business skills and knowledge, whilst developing basic key skills through creativity and a multitude of learning processes and that's just where Fashion-Enter steps in.

As a resource YEP will provide opportunities to explore risk, develop independent thinking and to develop open-mindedness. Young entrepreneurs will be able to ‘test' the commercial viability of their ideas, develop confidence, inspiration and motivation, and in so doing , will provide an excellent example of the way young people can really rise to a challenge and flourish.

On PLAN-IT FASHION, participants will spend 4 weeks exploring various aspects of the fashion industry and designing and customising various aspects of clothing to make them unique. After completing their designs, participants will showcase their work to Jenny Holloway Director of Fashion Enter Boutique who will inspect the garments inside and out and select garments to go on sale in Fashion Enter Boutique.

"It's exciting to work again with Fashion Enter and have the garments showcased in Croydon this is a wonderful opportunity for the young people who will benefit from the experience" Lorraine Brown Young Enterprise Manager.
