INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS
During your studies, at either college or university, you are often left with the void of no practical work experience. A Remote Industry Placement offers you the platform to build upon existing experience, or alternatively, start your journey. This is a perfect opportunity to grow your professional network and gain industry insight. The placements are run remotely, and you will be supported the whole way through by your manager.
Here at THE HOUSE OF RADHA, you are able to work across a broad selection of creative and business placements. The placements are based on the fashion, art and music sphere of the brand, and they will provide you with an excellent understanding of this sector.

“Radha was great to work with, I feel it has taught me a lot about the industry and taking direction”
I would recommend THOR to others, both as a placement and also as a brand, because the values that it holds align with all the changes that need to be made for the fashion industry to continue. There are being sustainable, ethical and diverse, whilst encouraging other artistic forms like music and art. I really feel as though Radha wanted to help and benefit my studies, not just me help in the brand

“It has helped me realise the importance of time keeping and organising myself to complete weekly tasks”
It has been a very welcoming experience, allowing me to discover first hand about the fashion industry. I have really enjoyed the range of work that I have been given to do, helping me to be more prepared and feel more confident for my final year, as well as improving my creative skills
“It has still been exciting to meet different people and everyone has been friendly and passionate which is inspiring and fun to be part of”
I could work in my own time and it cut travel costs and time from my day. I have been able to get my name out there through the writing of blogs and an article. It has helped me realise that being able to turn my hand to any aspect of a brand is key to being successful
“Don’t be anxious in starting a placement since its part of the learning experience. Don’t be afraid to seek help or ask questions since people are willing to answer. Apply and try different things until you have enough confidence to say you enjoy what you do.
I found it to be rewarding and getting an insight on the pace of work on how things operate between you and the designer when creating designs. It was also interesting to see how the fashion side of designing works and learn how that influences designs”
I’ve gained the skill to be more confident in sharing my ideas and designs through this journey..
