News (back) This page will be regularly updated with news items from VTCT Habia and VTCT agreement will increase investment 20/06/07 Habia and VTCT have agreed a partnership that will lead to an increase in investment for developing new qualifications and guidance materials. The
partnership will see Habia and VTCT working to ensure that income raised
from industry is reinvested to create training guidance for educators,
learners and businesses and develop vocational qualifications that directly
address skills needs. Some income is also likely to be set aside for
charitable contributions to people working in hair, beauty, nails and
spa industries in the form of sponsorship or bursaries. The partnership was announced by Habia chief executive Alan Goldsbro at a reception at the Houses of Parliament, organised by the Hairdressing Council, on 20 June 2007. Alan said, ‘This is one of the biggest developments in our industry for some time, both in the UK and internationally. As well as ensuring that whatever hair, beauty, nails and spa professionals or businesses spend is reinvested into making their industry better, the partnership will be the first step in creating a genuine worldwide standard based on the level of professionalism we have here in the UK’.
Peter Wren, VTCT chief executive, said, ‘Habia will be providing
a service to VTCT and our customers above the level set by regulatory
bodies. This support includes guidance and advice on suitable qualifications
for industry, marketing initiatives and communication with industry.
Habia and VTCT will bring together their joint expertise to enhance
the perception and reputation of the industry, its professionalism and
its high standards of training, not just in the UK but internationally’. If you require further details, please contact our Customer Service department by e-mail to customerservice@vtct.org.uk.
