Top Brighton salon backs Apprenticeship Week

7 February 2011

With apprenticeships in the spotlight nationally with 'Apprenticeship Week' running from 7th to 11th February to celebrate the talent and skills of apprentices from across the UK, one of Brighton's most popular Hairdressing salons, The Point, has recently taken on two apprentices ? Anne Lazarus and Jasmin Field - who are studying for their apprenticeships through City College Brighton and Hove's City Business Skills department. The Point's Director Ian Habben says:

'Supporting Apprenticeship Week is important because Apprenticeships are the way forward for independent Brighton businesses to have trainees working on the shop floor and learning their trade. From my experience, mature students in particular seem to thrive in apprenticeships because they know where they want to go and have determination to succeed over the time period that they're doing their training with us and this obviously works for both the salon and the apprentices. When it comes to setting up the apprenticeships, we've always had a fantastic relationship with City College and the communication between us has always been excellent.'
