Calling all local S4, S5 & S6 pupils! There’s still time to add a college course to your timetable for this term⏰

Carly, a pupil at Wick High School, chose to study Hair and Beauty Units (SCQF Level 4) because she wanted to try something more practical than her usual school subjects and explore a potential career in the industry.

💬 “I’ve always been interested in hair and beauty, and I really wanted to try something more hands-on and practical than my usual school subjects.”

Through the course, Carly has developed practical skills in facials, manicures and skincare, while also improving her communication skills and gaining experience of working with others.

From Skills for Work programmes and Highers to degree-level modules, there are lots of ways to gain new skills, explore your interests and get a head start on your future career.
