At the Fashion Retail Academy, we're incredibly proud of our strong relationships with the fashion and retail industry. With over 250 brand partners, we give our students exclusive opportunities to engage with employers through masterclasses, live projects and our careers fairs.
We recently held a Careers Fair at our campus, Electra House. A variety of top fashion and retail brands joined us, including Shiseido, Signet Jewelers, Ann Summers, AllSaints, Monsoon Accessorize, John Lewis, ASOS, Nobody's Child, Fortnum & Mason, and TJX Europe.
Our careers fair brings brands directly to campus, giving students the chance to network, showcase their talent, and learn what it's like to work in different areas of the industry - from head office roles to in-store opportunities. It's the perfect chance for students to speak directly with hiring teams and build connections that often lead to real job offers.
All the attending brands were impressed by our students' professionalism, knowledge and passion for the industry. They praised the way our students are "set up for success" and how they stood out for their dedication.
FRA students demonstrate a lot of passion! - Izzy, People and Culture Manager at Nobody's Child
Hear from the brands themselves:
Lauren, Head of Talent Engagement at Ann Summers, shared how many of their early careers roles in buying, merchandising, and marketing have been filled by FRA students.
Nandi, Talent Acquisition and Specialist at Monsoon Accessorize, told us how she's hired employees at FRA careers fairs before and that's why she keeps coming back, because she knows she'll find someone great for their roles!
John Lewis was represented by Liv, a Buying and Merchandising Assistant and FRA alumni who studied Level 4 Fashion Buying. Her journey is a testament to how our students go on to achieve great things in the industry.
We absolutely love working with the FRA here at ASOS. The benefit is definitely meeting amazing talent and being able to pipeline them to come and join ASOS when they graduate! - Evie, Talent Acquisition at ASOS
There's been multiple occasions where we've reached out to the FRA if we need to fill roles across any of our kind of entry level opportunities. - Izzy, People and Culture Manager at Nobody's Child
