EMPLOYER TUESDAY
To celebrate employer Tuesday, we’ll be asking employers and industry professionals what their top tips are for finding apprenticeships.
Got any advice you’d like to share with apprentices and students just starting out in the industry? Head over to our Instagram and Facebook stories and let us know!
APPRENTICE WEDNESDAY
On Wednesday, we’ll be shining a spotlight on apprenticeships and the incredible opportunities they offer.
From real-life apprenticeship journeys to the skills, confidence and career progression they can unlock, we’ll be sharing why an apprenticeship can be such a powerful pathway into the beauty industry.
OPPORTUNITY THURSDAY
What better opportunity for an apprentice or student than competing?
Entering competitions are a fantastic way to improve your CV, boost your confidence and show yourselves, your lecturers and future employers what you’re really capable of.
We’ll be highlighting why competitions play such an important role in personal development and career progression within the beauty industry.
National Apprenticeship Week is a time to recognise and celebrate the vital role apprenticeships play in addressing the UK’s skilled trades shortage while providing young people with pathways to rewarding careers.
