In addition to the grant awards, the BFC Fashion Trust Founder Patrons also support a Graduate Traineeship Programme which offers graduates 12-month paid placements with a British based designer.

Previously partnered brands include E.Tautz, Erdem, House of Holland, JW Anderson, Mary Katrantzou and Roksanda.
