The FBI Mentor Program
The FBI Mentor Program is a selective program whereby a student is paired with a Fashion industry mentor according to their career aspirations. The mentor provides guidance and advice throughout a series of meetings and an ongoing relationship is developed.
The Mentor helps the student clarify their goals and the necessary steps they need to take to achieve them through a series of mentorship meetings.
"WOW, I feel so lucky to be part of FBI's Mentor Program! You and your mentor work together in 1 on 1 sessions to achieve your Fashion career goals. After my first session with Marisa Caruso I gained invaluable insight into the fashion industry and being a Fashion Buyer!"
"I feel insanely lucky and grateful to be selected for the FBI Mentoring Program! I can't wait to meet with Charlotte Stokes and learn first hand about the industry and Fashion Styling from someone as successful as her! This is such an incredible opportunity that I can't wait to make the absolute most of to help build my own career. I can't thank FBI enough for organising this!".
