FIELD (Fashion Industry Educational Exchange and Leadership Development) is a unique collaboration between the fashion industry and graduating students of Seneca’s Fashion Business Management Advanced Diploma program.

Each year, student teams partner with a fashion industry client who challenges them to assist with a real-life business opportunity.

Student teams apply their knowledge gained in their final year of study to develop strategic and creative solutions for the ‘client’. They present a summary of their findings to the industry partner and a panel of industry judges at the FIELD gala event and a winning team is chosen.

Now in its twelfth year, FIELD offers an experiential learning and networking opportunity for students. For the industry partner, it’s a chance to give back to the community, work with emerging professionals in the field, and potentially gain insight into their own operation.
