New Delhi [India], May 8: As India's creative economy continues to expand across fashion, interiors, digital design, and lifestyle sectors, the need for professionally trained design talent has become increasingly important. Addressing this growing demand, IISS - International Institute of Style & Space is offering industry-oriented education through its Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) and Master of Vocation (M.Voc) programs in Thane.
Affiliated with Sikkim Professional University, IISS focuses on bridging academic learning with practical industry exposure. The institute's B.Voc program is a three-year undergraduate course open to students after 10+2, while the M.Voc program is a two-year postgraduate course designed for graduates seeking advanced specialization and leadership opportunities in the design domain.
According to academic experts, vocational education is becoming increasingly relevant as industries seek professionals equipped with both technical expertise and practical problem-solving abilities.
