The Homo Faber Fellowship is an educational initiative created by the Michelangelo Foundation to support recent craft graduates and master artisans. This seven-month programme pairs young talents with master artisans, fostering skill transmission and helping graduates embark on careers in the craft sector.
With the backing of Jaeger-LeCoultre, which aligns with Homo Faber’s vision for the future of craftsmanship, the programme runs annually from September to March. It is conducted in collaboration with local members of the Foundation’s network.
The application deadline is the 20th of February, 2025.
