Developing employability and communication skills for Hairdressing students

Two members of the teaching team, Caroline Brady and Joyce Faulkner are working together to deliver the first part of the Cosmetology Unit, which is also the first part of the Hairdressing course.  Essentially, this means the students are:

·         researching career paths/routes for qualified hairdressers (this has proved very enlightening for us all)
·         analysing job adverts
·         preparing a CV and letter of application
·         preparing and practicing for interviews  

Reading will be on a text associated with hairdressing. 

Talks will be about their individual career/ research findings, or practice interviews with each other.  A possible re-sit/alternative speaking task will be a talk on a top hairdresser/hairdressing chain. 

The lecturers involved have worked out a schedule which covers both classes, sharing materials, and adapting the course as we go, to meet the students’ needs.
