Starting in November 2014, REACH’s very first Beauty Spa and Makeup class has graduated from our new Beauty Spa and Makeup facility in Hue.
The first class, consisting of 13 female and 5 male students from disadvantaged backgrounds started the course in November 2014 and studied for over three months. Over the course of these 3 months, students were provided technical training in Beauty Spa and Makeup as well as life and job readiness skills. Students also undertook English classes that were provided by the REACH English teachers.
Students graduating from this course can generally expect to work in hotel spas, beauty salons and wedding studios. Of the 18 students enrolled in our first class, 17 have already found jobs and are earning an average salary of ~3 million dong (US$140) per month. Furthermore, 8 of these students are working at 4 and 5 star hotels including the Imperal, Eldora and Anna Mandara.
Linh, one of the students graduating from the course said “I like studying here because the training helps me become more confident. I have learnt many life skills, enabling me to communicate better and have the necessary skills to adapt myself to the working environment. Moreover, the program gives me better awareness about my career and my life. Most importantly, I am equipped with professional skills and am supported in finding a suitable job”.
