Work experience opportunities are vital when it comes to preparing the future workforce for their roles in industry. We work with Champneys Spa in Henlow to provide our Beauty Therapy learners with real-life learning experiences, allowing them to get familiar with the equipment and facilities they will use in their careers.
Our Level 3 Beauty Therapy learners recently visited Champneys to experience their luxury spa facilities first-hand.
The visit began with an insightful talk from Elaine Bannister and Charlotte Richards, part of Champneys Spa team, exploring the Champneys brand and the diverse career progression opportunities within the organisation.
Following the inspiring discussion, our budding beauty therapists were asked to take part in job interview roleplays. Our learners put their newfound Champneys knowledge into practise and impressed the panel.
The group were then taken on a complete tour of Champneys’ beautiful grounds and facilities, which include 40 state-of-the-art treatment rooms, a hair salon, mani-pedi lounge, sauna, steam room, a 25m swimming pool and more! Our learners explored the full spectrum of Champneys’ advanced treatments and professional products.
As our Beauty Therapy learners have worked so hard to receive incredible client feedback this year, Elaine generously treated them to afternoon tea and use of the spa facilities. We are so jealous!
Elaine Bannister, Champneys Spa Manager, commented:
“It was such a pleasure to host everyone. Both Charlotte and myself are so pleased the students enjoyed their visit and hope we get to see them in the future. We wish them all the luck with their exams and future career in the beauty industry.”
Industry visits like this are an incredible opportunity for our learners to explore the diverse careers within the beauty therapy industry, gain confidence and build their professional network.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to Elaine and Charlotte at Champneys in Henlow for facilitating such an insightful and incredibly enjoyable visit. Both staff and learners look forward to working with you again soon!
