Vocational design exchange in Milan: why invest in your child's creative future

Italian design isn't just a trend: it's a legacy that has shaped global trends for decades. When we talk about Milan, the world capital of fashion and design, we are talking about the creative epicenter that defines what we will see in the coming seasons. For young Brazilians passionate about design, this city offers something that no traditional course can provide: total immersion in the cradle of creative innovation.

The power of international experience in the curriculum

Trained professionals with international experience have significant competitive advantages in their careers. O post-exchange labor market values skills that are only developed far from the comfort zone.

A vocational exchange in design goes beyond technical learning. Your child will develop:

Overview of trends

Milano Design Week, Salone del Mobile: events that dictate the future of global design take place in the city. Participating in this ecosystem means being one step ahead of the Brazilian competition.

Strategic international network

Connections established during the program become bridges to future opportunities. Professionals who studied abroad have relationships that last for decades.

Cultural fluency in business

Understanding how Italians approach design, its aesthetic philosophy, and creative processes creates a competitive advantage that is impossible to replicate in the classroom.

Italian design: a reference that opens doors globally

Milan didn't choose to be the design capital by chance. The city has been breathing innovation since the post-war period, when designers like Achille Castiglioni and Enzo Mari revolutionized the way we think about everyday objects. Today, brands like Artemide, Cassina, and B&B Italia continue to set global standards.

Your child will study at Raffles Milano - International Design Institute, an institution recognized by the European Credits Transfer and Accumulation System. This means that the credits obtained are internationally valid, adding real academic value to the curriculum.

‍

Available areas of expertise:

• Interior Design: creating functional and aesthetically impacting spaces
• Product Design: development of innovative products focusing on user experience

Both areas combine 15 hours of theoretical learning with 15 hours of practical laboratories. No pure theory: your child will create real projects, develop prototypes and receive feedback from professionals active in the market.

‍

Competitive advantage that lasts a lifetime

When we analyze successful trajectories in Brazilian design, we find a common pattern: professionals with international experience occupy prominent positions. It's not about status: it's about expanded ability to solve problems.

As highlighted by the experience of students who went through similar programs, study design and communication abroad develops skills that transcend technical aspects. The ability to think from different cultural perspectives becomes a valuable professional tool.

What differentiates professionals with international experience:

Accelerated adaptability

Having experienced challenging situations in a foreign environment develops resilience and ability to adapt. Essential qualities in dynamic markets.

Lateral thinking developed

Exposure to different creative methodologies expands the range of solutions. Professionals with this experience approach briefings in a more innovative way.

Multicultural communication

Knowing how to present ideas to different audiences is an increasingly valued skill in global companies.

Design market: booming sector with high demand

The creative market is constantly growing, and design occupies a strategic position in this scenario. Brazilian companies are increasingly investing in design thinking and user experience. Internationally trained professionals in this area are highly sought after because they bring globally tested methodologies.

Sectors with the highest demand for designers:

• Tech: startups and software companies
• E-commerce: user experience on digital platforms
• Furniture and decor: growing domestic market
• Sustainability: eco-conscious design gains relevance

Young people who develop this vision early in their careers position themselves strategically to take advantage of these opportunities.
