Fashion Merchandising Certificate

The Fashion Merchandising Certificate program exposes students to fashion design and textiles, as well as to creative sales, retailing, and merchandising techniques. Many of the courses include field trips, speakers from industry, projects that engage students in their learning and assignments that require individual initiative in management–related projects.

The certificate program encompasses classes also required for the Associate in Business, so students can earn the certificate, obtain a job in the field, and then continue their studies to enhance skills and improve eligibility for promotion.

The Fashion Merchandising Certificate is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in careers such as:

• Window Dresser
• Merchandise Displayer
• Sales Person
• Management Trainee
• Marketing Assistant

Pierce College offers the Fashion Merchandising Certificate at the Ft. Steilacoom campus.

Special funding may be available for unemployed workers and low–wage working parents. Call (253) 964–6265.
