Are you a salon looking for a helping hand, this summer? Level 2 hair and beauty students at the Wisbech campus have been praised for their hard work and commitment in completing numerous local work experience placements, this term. Industry placements provide invaluable experience for young people, looking to get an insight into the world of work, whilst still in education. Some of our students are even offered employment off the back of their involvement. Isobel Chapman, 17, completed a work placement at Keelings Hair Studio in King’s Lynn and was offered a part time job with the company as a result. Her new manager, Julie Keeling, said: “Isobel has worked very hard in my salon so far. She is a very well-mannered member of staff and keen to learn. I am pleased to have her as a member of my staff.” Emma Whyment, course director for L2 hair and beauty at Wisbech, said: “As a department, working closely with local employers in the hair and beauty industry has been very beneficial to our students. A lot of our students have gained practical hands-on skills from doing so; observing new styles and gaining customer service skills we can’t offer in the classroom.” The college is always looking to form new partnerships with local salons willing to offer work experience. If you think you can be of assistance to our enthusiastic students, please get in touch by contacting the college and asking for Mike Cobb-Pernak.
