Beauty Therapy
Why take on an Apprentice?
The Beauty industry is always changing, and as customers become more discerning they are demanding a more and more diverse range of services.
In order to respond to client’s demands, you need to stay on top of new trends and ensure you staff have the skills required in a modern beauty salon.
Yet according to Habia, 5% of staff in the Hair and Beauty sector have skills weaknesses which need addressing, while 68% of employers in the Hair and Beauty sector say they are put off by the cost of training.
That’s where the Apprenticeship programme can help.
Apprentices learn on the job, working alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job Apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualification, ensuring your staff are fully equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to help you maintain your competitive advantage.
Research has highlighted that employers offer Apprenticeship places because they understand the benefits that Apprentices bring to their business - increased productivity, improved competitiveness and a committed and competent work-force.
