The Twim Art Institute is one of Nigeria's leading vocational schools. It is located in Ibadan!

One of the departments at The Twim Art Institute is the Department of Fashion. Here, you can take a short-term fashion course that brings you into the exciting world of sewing and fashion design.

Here are reasons why you should learn Fashion Design at The Twim Art Institute's Department of Fashion:

1. The Department of Fashion is not the only department in the school. There are 4 other departments, all having their own studios / labs / workshops. This implies that while majoring on fashion design, you will be well exposed to other things in a conducive, proper school environment (not a shop) as you pass through the school.

2. Award-winning entrepreneurship programme to help you start up your business after training. At The Twim Art Institute, all students have a compulsory month of entrepreneurial training from the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation of the school. That training includes a lot- from drawing a business model to using social media. This gives you a very great advantage especially considering that it is taught by professionals.

3. The fashion department is well equipped, as are all the other departments in the institute.

4. The Fashion Design course is very broad. Unlike most other schools that keep charging you for individual topics, TAI's courses are structured to be very broad. The idea is for you to learn everything you need to become a pro in that one course. Of course, this is not to take away the place of self-development.

5. Paid internship: Yes! You heard right. All students at The Twim Art Institute can intern with TAI's fashion house and get paid for it. The idea is to teach the culture of work and give practical insight into the process of running a fashion business.

So what are you waiting for? Visit The Twim Art Institute today at The Twim Art Institute, behind Jericho Mall, Onireke GRA, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Rector of The Twim Art Institute, Olumide Adeleye, spoke at the 2018 edition of the Concordia Annual Summit in New York discussing the problem of youth employment in Africa.

The Concordia Annual Summit is the biggest and most inclusive high-level non-partisan forum that holds at the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. This year's edition played host to many of the world's Heads of State and some of the most notable business executives. Several themes, including a strategic dialogue on youth employment in Africa, were featured. 

Olumide Adeleye spoke passionately about some of the challenges faced by young Africans leading to massive youth employment. Being able to draw from first-hand experiences first as a Nigerian youth entrepreneur who is resident in Nigeria, and also as the founder of initiatives (such as The Twim Art Institute and the Twim Institute Annual Conference) through which he relates daily with young, struggling youths, he appealed for better recognition, validation and dignity for the many African youths who go through unprecedented challenges to innovate in Africa. He also spoke about African youths being given opportunities. Using Nigeria as an example, he opined that all structures were concentrated around old people and politicians with very few opportunities for youths. Olumide praised initiatives such as the Mandela Washington Fellowship, the Queen's Young Leaders Program, and the African Leadership Academy which have been at the forefront of identifying, training and recognizing African talent even when African governments who should know better have not.

His contributions were well received with many commenting about his passion and bluntness.

Other contributors to the discussion include Uzodinma Iweala of the Africa Center, Fred Swaniker of the African Leadership University, John Momoh of ChannelsTV,  Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield (former US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs), as well as Nigeria's former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Yale University's Director for Africa, Eddie Mandhry, moderated the session.

Over the course of 2 days, the Concordia Annual Summit pooled other notable speakers including Microsoft President Brad Smith, US first daughter Ivanka Trump, Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo, and World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva.

Contributions to the Society

In just 3 years, this has become one of Nigeria’s biggest entrepreneurship events, with the 2018 edition bringing together over 2500 participants from all over the country. One of the most unique things about this conference is that it showcases some of Nigeria’s most dynamic young entrepreneurs and change makers as against “known” motivational speakers.

Faculty
All Instructor-level faculty at The Twim Art Institute have a minimum of a first degree, are accomplished professionals and possess years of vocational experience in the relevant fields.

Learning Environment
The Twim Art Institute has separate well-equipped studios for fashion, photography, sound and video production. These are different from the classrooms. There is also a kitchen for culinary arts. In addition, there are temporary library facilities, pending the setup of the institute’s library. Sport facilities are also available.
