Student experience

At Josef’s, we believe that creating a fun and creative atmosphere helps our students become passionate about their career. Throughout the year our students are involved with community events, career fairs and competitions. Gaining international esteem, our Josef’s Annual Fashion Awards (JAFA) easily becomes the highlight of the year at Josef’s. This is our student competition fashion runway show. For the past 11 years, JAFA provides our students and alumni the unique opportunity to push boundaries within themselves.ry. This professionally produced runway show includes over 200 models showcasing all student work in hair, makeup and costume design.

We pride ourselves on creating our own brand image based off our student work. So, when you see any advertisement, or publication, the models in the photographs are done by our students. Each year we hold our Photographic Awards. Students are able to work with professional photographers to help create looks that inspire them. This is a great networking tool and provides our students with professional photographs for portfolio work.

We provide advanced education opportunities throughout the year by bringing in national educators, local industry leaders exposing our students to different industry career options.
