Designers of tomorrow – this weekend is your chance to discover the resources you need to set your career aspirations into motion! On Saturday July 20th, right across the road from Brisbane Tertiary Expo, Think Group (the team behind colleges including Billy Blue College of Design and CATC Design School) will be hosting an interactive Open Day for future students of all ages to browse, learn and inquire. Whether your passion is fashion, graphic design, interiors, photography, environment, web design, branding or digital media, you can meet graduates and students alike who will show you their work and share experiences, as well as convenors to discuss career pathways and collaborative opportunities. All of Think’s colleges have a strong environmental focus, equipping students with the skills they need to navigate the increasingly green fashion and design industries of the future. Pop on by 10 Costin Street, Fortitude Valley between 11am and 3pm with your questions at the ready! {Illustrations above by Billy Blue fashion student Raquel Cerne-Chaves}.
