Employment Outlook
There has never been a better time to join the fashion industry—Baby
Boomers are retiring and there are not enough Gen X-ers to take their place. Those
graduating in the next 10 years will be poised to take on more responsibility
at an earlier age just to keep pace with the fashion industry’s growth.
Clothing and textile manufacturing has moved beyond our boarders, but retailing
and design will remain very much an American resource. And we are a nation of
consumers!
Retailing is an industry where job experience is critical. Advancement opportunities
are based on:
- the experience you have relative to job needs
- the strength of your work habits as observed by supervisors
Students are encouraged to work in a retail operation, on a part-time basis,
while completing their formal education. Our Merchandising and Design Internships
give you college credit while providing the work experience necessary.
There is a great need in Arizona and in our nation for retail and manufacturing
management executives. A Bachelor’s degree is key for top executives and
MCC works to advise and transfer students to major universities, both in-state
and nationally.
