INDEPENDENT GRADUATES

Graduating Students are offered admission to the optional Alumni Support Program, which provides a customized structure of support to students following graduation.

The programme assists alumni in networking and career opportunities, acting as a foot up into the competitive fashion world. This also includes in-depth consultancy, continued training, media support, and access to resources from various branches of the Social Enterprise. In exceptional cases CSB-SD provides seed funding for student start-ups.

CSB-SD has been able to guarantee an 80% success rate of job placement within the industry for its graduates. The graduates have gone on to work as designers, patternmakers, and stylists. They have launched their own brands, such as GOODKILL by Hazem Kais, RONI HELOU, and AHMED AMER. Some teach at renowned universities such as Académie Libanaise Des Beaux-Arts (ALBA) and Lebanese American University (LAU), as well as CSB-SD. They partake in international exhibitions and fashion shows, and work or collaborate with designers and boutiques locally and internationally.
