Welcome to BACK2MYROOTS B2MR: Regular postings of fresh new topic’s
A somewhat contentious subject: But worthy of discussion and debate I’m sure we will not all agree !!!
but that is healthy.
I don’t know if this is a global issue but it certainly is an issue in the countries I have worked in. Is it an issue where you are. Its a topic that I dwell on given my passion for our industry.
Commitment. Attitude. Image. Vision:
Why do so many young people start training and give up. Or just turn to it not knowing what else to do. in some cases just getting pushed into it just because of lack of academic qualification. Hoping it’s an easy meal ticket! to a not to demand profession.
Why do so many stay in the industry poorly trained? Little or no motivation complaining acting out and being totally un-professional. Why is this?
I’m hoping this will create discussion because like so many issues in our industry it’s one that is sort of pushed aside never really addressed or looked at.
In these economic times we seem to heading down that path that has been trodden many times apprenticeships programs for youth employment. incentives for salons to take on trainee’s. Is it just another way of playing with unemployment figures or real industry commitment.
Then we have the colleges and the day release system. The standards of what is being taught is out of touch with reality. So bogged down with paper work health and safety issues. The tutors in many cases are un motivated and out of touch .The students having failed in the academic world don’t now want to be in class room setting. How will this ever change if never addressed.
My reason for this topic is not to just rant about an issue not just to use my blog a platform to moan. It’s to bring up the topic and hopefully put a positive lean on it!
How can it change? What can we do as professional salon owners. How can tutors improve and help to change and or improve things.
Firstly by being honest with all the youngsters thinking of a future in Hairdressing.This means taking the time to discuss with them their goals and dreams find out if the service industry is for !It’s not for every one. Find out how committed they are to study and self improvement.
We need to lead by example.We need to raise standards. We can all make a difference if we are willing and committed.
It’s about giving back. It’s about sharing. Its about being honest. It’s about communication and most of all positive honest discussion.
We have to take the time to honestly explain the training process to young people coming into the profession. Tell what to honestly expect. We have to help them value and respect them selves.
In-fact many Stylist’s could learn from a little reflection on these subjects .They could in many case’s do with some help. I have come across many in our professions with self issues. Maybe our industry attracts this .We all have a story. We come with baggage. We all have a past. We all have a story.
We also all have creative passion. For hair dressing. For being a stylist. Being a colour technician. Being successful.
From being honest with young people coming into our profession. We have to then also look at help and assistance for those either new to the business or struggling. This can be newly qualified stylist’s or salon owners struggling with staff issues and to make ends meet.
We can only do this if we are all honest. If we are struggling we reach out ask and seek help.
Is help available? Are there people that care ? yes yes yes!
all you have to do is ask the right questions! thank you
