Young Leaders Hub CIC, VIIB Aesthetics and Beauty Hub and Life Consults CIC are collaborating to deliver a free, practical four-day (delivered over five Saturdays) hairdressing training programme for people aged 16 and above.
The initiative aims to make introductory skills development more accessible and help participants explore how practical hairdressing skills may support further learning, employment or self-employment.
What participants will learn
Practical introductory skills in cornrows and simple braiding, single plaits and neat styles, basic hairdressing techniques, and hair care and maintenance.
Why it matters
For participants: Free access to practical learning, confidence-building and a possible starting point for further training, employment or self-employment.
For the local economy: The potential to encourage micro-enterprise, self-employment and local personal-care services by helping residents develop marketable skills.
For community cohesion: A shared learning environment where people can meet, cooperate and build relationships across backgrounds.
A first edition, with an ambition to grow
The partners intend this first edition to inform future programmes. Their ambition is to organise further editions, reach more residents and explore delivery in other Hull neighbourhoods and locations, subject to resources, demand and suitable partnerships.
Venue: 117 Newland Avenue, Hull, HU5 2ES
