Kleek Apprenticeships’ Post

In our August issue, we share a 5 Minutes With Mandy Mcmullen, the Head of Curriculum and Development at Kleek Apprenticeships, discussing the importance of supporting apprentices in salons ❤️ There are several important ways salons can help their apprentices make the most of their training for future success. 🌍 Creating a nurturing environment: Apprentices should feel comfortable asking questions, seeking advice and sharing their ideas without fear of judgement. Celebrating their contributions can significantly boost their morale and motivation. 💇♀️ Comprehensive training: Salons should offer a structured training programme through an accredited apprenticeship training provider that covers both theoretical and practical aspects of hairstyling. Allowing apprentices to assist with real clients under supervision is vital for them to gain practical experience and build confidence.

Derby College: Empowering Culinary Talent Through Apprenticeships In the ever-evolving culinary industry, where innovation and expertise are essential, apprenticeships play a crucial role in shaping the future. Tom, a former Derby College apprentice and now head chef, is a strong advocate for this pathway, crediting apprenticeships as the foundation for developing and retaining young talent. Currently leading a team that includes DCG apprentices Tilly and Chloe at Fairways, Tom emphasises the value of nurturing a team through the College’s programs. He states, “Given the challenges our industry faces, it’s vital that employers invest in retaining young, enthusiastic chefs who are eager to learn and grow.” With apprentices progressing through Levels 2 and 3, this approach provides continuity for both employers and staff, fostering long-term careers and ensuring businesses retain skilled workers.

I’m diving into a topic close to my heart - using apprenticeships to transform salon businesses. 🚀 With over 25 years in the industry, I’ve seen firsthand how apprentices can be game-changers, especially in tough times. 🌱 Apprentices not only bring fresh energy but also allow us to handle more clients efficiently. They’re like sponges, eager to learn and grow. By incorporating them, we can not only enhance our service offerings but also uplift the next generation of stylists and beauty professionals. 🤝 In times of economic downturns, it's more crucial to focus on innovative solutions rather than get bogged down by doom and gloom. Apprenticeships offer a cost-effective way to keep evolving and thriving. 💪 Let's embrace the power of apprenticeships to create more vibrant, dynamic, and resilient salons.
