Tailored for Success

SFF is planning to conduct pilot workshops designed for two different types of creatives: Academic and Entrepreneur. These workshops will provide art-driven students with practical skills, knowledge, tools, and resources to help them in their professional life after high school or assist them in the college process.

The Scholar

This student is highly academic and driven. They seek stability and structure to build a solid and reliable academic foundation. They thrive best with a straightforward plan to follow on their career path. This student would do well in a creative corporate setting, such as a Tech Designer, Marketer, Brander, Software Engineer, Visual Merchandiser, Fashion Buyer, and Product Developer (to name a few). These careers offer the opportunity to utilize your skills and creativity while providing a clear path for growth and development.

The Entrepreneur

As a student with an entrepreneurial mindset, they possess a distinct vision and a strong desire to make a significant impact in the art community. They value their independence and creativity and aspire to establish a successful brand that reflects their individuality. With our expert guidance, we can assist them in transforming their vision into a reality and building a thriving business that stands out in the industry.
