Hems & Brims Mentorship Model

Our mentorship model is designed to bridge the gap between education and industry exposure by providing students direct access to professionals who can offer insight, encouragement, and real-world perspective in the fashion field.

Program Overview

Weekly 1:1 Sessions from September - October 2026

What to Expect

  • Weekly 1:1 Mentorship Sessions
    Students meet virtually with their mentor once a week to receive tailored guidance, feedback, and support aligned with their personal and professional goals.

  • Personalized Matching
    Each mentorship pairing is thoughtfully matched based on interests, career aspirations, and experience level to ensure a meaningful and relevant connection.

  • Structured Weekly Assignments
    To support growth and momentum, students will complete weekly assignments designed to reinforce learning, encourage reflection, and build practical skills.

  • Ongoing Check-ins & Support
    Students will complete brief check-in forms throughout the program to track progress, set intentions, and ensure the mentorship experience remains focused and impactful.
