George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Hands-on Experience
Fashion & Jewellery students offered an opportunity to gain real-world fashion industry experience through a dynamic capstone project running two fashion stores within George Brown Polytechnic – City Uptown and City Downtown.
Teams of management students are required to open, run and close a fashion store in just ten weeks! They conduct a situation analysis, define their target audience and store brand image, select and merchandise product, and market and monitor their business with the aim of generating a profit.
This experience provides student with an opportunity to practice their leadership, planning, management, organizational control, problem solving and human relations management skills - all skills essential for a long-term success in the garment industry.
The outlets are open in the fall and winter semesters, Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (excluding holidays & are subject to change).
