“Teacher, so this is what backstage at a fashion show is like? I thought after hair and makeup, you just stood by backstage, and maybe touched up your makeup. I didn't realize it could be so tense and exciting. Changing outfits in such a rush only took five minutes.”
The students' reactions are actually the effect we hoped to achieve. This is why we continuously connect students with various activities and internship opportunities, and also invite different teachers to give extra sharing sessions when possible. We don't want our students to be like frogs in a well.
Every time we have an opportunity for an internship experience for students to participate in, we will give it priority consideration.
What can our students learn from this activity?
Will students learn new technologies or different techniques?
What benefits did you get?
Beyond technical skills, what other value can students gain from activities?
How can they avoid detours later in life once they enter society?
For their future development, what specific help is there.
These moves might seem like [something] to an outsider
“Oh no, why do you have to work so hard? It's already tiring to be in education, and then you have to take students for internships.”
”Oh, they'll understand these things when they graduate and enter society.”
No! It's not like that. You don't know how much you need something until you're in a situation where you need it. Learning is a never-ending process. Moreover, we live in an era of progress every second, so we can't rely on rigid teaching methods. These real-life experiences will have a significant impact on their future development. We want them to enter society after graduation as qualified stylists, not cluelessly enter the industry without understanding basic concepts like “this is how stage productions are styled" or "this is the backstage of a fashion show."
Opportunities are for those who are prepared. Once you enter society, opportunities are everywhere, but whether you can grasp them accurately depends on what you've accumulated during your studies and whether you have enough "bullets" ready.
