Design Trainee
JCPenney Design teams translate trends and create silhouettes for the largest volume of private brands (nearly 50 percent of our merchandise mix) of any retail department store. As a Design Trainee in our Home Office in Plano, TX (just 20 min. north of downtown Dallas), you will be assigned to one of JCPenney's private brands and work side by side with Design and Trend Managers as you experience firsthand the product and brand development process. You could even see one of your designs in our JCPenney stores!
During this six-month program, you will be a valued member of the Design team, working on projects, presentations, sketching, trend research, competitive shopping, and more. You will engage and interact with Buyers, Designers, Sourcing, Trend, and Brand Managers, overseas vendors and suppliers, as well as other Design Trainees. With the mentoring and coaching of senior team members, you will actively participate in the development of a merchandise line – beginning with established seasonal merchandise concepts all the way to reviewing final assortments for fit and construction. Upon successful completion of the Design Trainee program, you will be promoted to an Assistant Designer. Along with a competitive salary and bonus potential, your relocation expenses will be covered.
If you have a strong awareness of trends and merchandising strategies, the ability to design around concepts and design flat sketches, superior leadership and communication skills, knowledge of CAD, U41A, Illustrator and PDM, a four-year degree in fashion design or business with a minimum 3.0 GPA, and a desire to move to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, then apply for a Design Trainee position today! Retail experience is a plus.
