EVERYONE may agree that you may have the talent, but if you have no formal qualification to back that talent, it can be as good as dead.

Entries to the #MyFashionCareer bursary competition are open until Friday, 9 December.
Shana Rosenthal, CEO of LISOF and renowned expert in the fashion and retail industry, said a career in fashion offers much more than just the glitz and the glamour.
“It’s for this reason that LISOF introduced its BCom fashion degree, which addresses the industry’s need to nurture the skills required for the business aspects of fashion and retail,” Shana said.
Those determined to take their passion a step further should consider LISOF’s honours degree with its earn-while-you-learn approach that creates the work-readiness that the retail industry requires – allowing students to enter the fashion and retail industry seamlessly.
By participating in a six-week postgraduate programme at a leading fashion and retail institution in London, LISOF honours students will gain invaluable international work experience with this optional addition to the course.
Shana said that with the #MyFashionCareer bursary competition, LISOF is creating an opportunity for Mzansi youth to empower themselves by standing a chance to pursue a high-earning career in the fast-paced and progressive world of fashion and retail in South Africa.
The South African textile and clothing industry facilitates about 80 000 jobs annually.
