A lucrative opportunity for individuals who are interested in the hairdressing industry is here! Thanks to the Box Hill Institute and Jobs Victoria partnership, students will be supported through a Certificate III in either Barbering (SHB30516) or Certificate III in Hairdressing (SHB30416). Box Hill Institutes ‘immersive training’ program will help students earn while they learn, with masterclasses offered from the likes of Charlene Fernandez, Area Academy and Dee Parker Attwood.
In the most recent masterclass, Dee Parker Attwood hosted a demonstration of 4 of the latest hair looks straight from Brisbane’s fashion week runway. 37 students then attempted to recreate 1 of the 4 looks each. Both Dee Parker Attwood and Charlene Fernandez chose 8 students to participate in the October Box Hill Institute Showcase Event where Melbourne’s best of the best salon owners, stylists, apprentices, and various industry stakeholders came together to celebrate the achievements of this fantastic program and partnership.
This program is of no cost to either student or salon owner. Moreover, student’s course fees are covered, additional resources including a hairdressing kit, uniforms and Pivot Point Educational materials are provided. Each apprentice will obtain around $15,000 value in funding. This partnership will also give students full wrap around support by being connected with a respected mentor to help them get job-ready and placed within the industry.
The program will finish in June 2023.
