The month of September is like an unchanging ritual, marking the start of the new school year. For more than 30 years, IFA Paris has been training students from all over the world in a number of different areas of the fashion and luxury industries. In an effort to preserve the heritage of French fashion, the school alternates traditional precepts with the major innovative trends of this ever-changing industry!

New technologies are revolutionizing the sector and many professions are undergoing major changes. Throughout their training, IFA Paris raises students’ awareness of this digital transition and trains them to the expectations of future recruiters.

In order to respond to this demand, education is also taking a new turn in the fashion sector. Whilst digital inclusion is one of the executive’s major projects, the Ile de France region aims to equip all high schools with a very high-speed connection by 2020, as well as ensure the maintenance of the installations and provide each student with IT equipment (tablet or PC).

The use of these technological resources opens up new avenues, both in terms of academic learning and of innovative pedagogy. The power of information technology is at the service of tutoring with the main objective of knowing how to take advantage of these functionalities according to one’s own needs (digitisation of books, connected media, internet, multimedia, database, artificial intelligence…).

Capitalizing on new technologies during your studies is already starting to consolidate the existing bridge between the school world and the new needs expressed by the labour market. Keep in mind, however, that the true genius of innovation lies in the individual’s know-how….so YOU. So hurry up and get to work!

Welcome back to school, everyone!
