Connecting students to the industry is vital to the success of our grads.

Our Industry Partnerships are with some of the world's most recognizable and influential brands. Via Classroom Partner Projects and FIDM Super Labs™, students generate innovative design and business solutions for top brands, giving students the opportunity to collaborate with companies and put what they're learning in the classroom to work.

Our partner-led curriculum also includes behind-the-scenes field trips to key industry locations such as corporate headquarters, manufacturers, advertising and branding firms, interior design and architectural firms, and film and TV sets.

Visits from notable top executives in our industry for guest lectures, project and portfolio evaluations, and career recruitment are also an integral aspect of the FIDM college experience.

INDUSTRY PARTNERS INCLUDE: CONVERSE | TOMS | ZARA | KIEHL'S GUESS | MACY'S | FOREVER 21 | L'ORÉAL DISNEY | VICTORIA'S SECRET | RED BULL WARNER BROS. | MODCLOTH | TOP SHOP NIKE | PACIFIC SUNWEAR | JC PENNEY POTTERY BARN | COTTON INC.

Each year we officially partner with a major company through their participation in the International Manufacturing & Product Development (IMPD) program and students take a product from concept to completion. Our close industry relations with top decision makers give rise to these unique opportunities. >
