COMBINING THE INSTITUTE'S MOST ADVANCED PROGRAMS SETS YOU APART – AND AHEAD
In today's fierce job market, the skills you learn at GIA could be the difference between getting the job and getting passed over. That's because when an employer or customer sees a GIA designation on your business card, they know you're an internationally recognized professional backed by the most respected gem and jewelry education in the world. With more than one designation after your name, you not only set yourself apart — you set yourself ahead.
But if you're serious about succeeding in the jewerly business — truly serious — you need a GIA diploma and a solid foundation in jewelry business management.
COMBINE ANY PROGRAM WITH GIA'S JEWELRY BUSINESS MANAGEMENT DIPLOMA PROGRAM
To excel in the jewelry industry, you need to combine your education in gemology or jewelry manufacturing arts with a keen understanding of jewelry business management.
Why? Because, in the gem and jewelry marketplace, you can’t survive on passion and creativity alone. The jewelry business is, indeed, just that – a business. It’s more than grading, identification, and design. Much more. It’s about distribution, forecasting trends, writing business plans, managing inventory, and supervising staff. It’s about developing marketing campaigns, reading profit and loss statements, and understanding your legal obligations.
There’s much you need to know. Which is why the Institute strongly recommends that you combine your G.G., G.J., or A.J.A studies with GIA’s Jewelry Business Management diploma program. To become a true force in the jewelry marketplace, you need to acquire a solid foundation in real-world business principles as they apply directly to the jewelry industry. You need to know what works – and what doesn’t – in the business of jewelry. And you can learn it all in GIA’s Jewelry Business Management diploma curriculum.
