✨ National Careers Week x Colleges Week Spotlight! ✨ Meet Amira, one of our amazing Level 1 Hair and Beauty students, whose journey since joining Carlisle College in September 2025 has been truly inspiring. Amira says that college has helped her grow academically, personally, and professionally. She’s developed confidence, improved her social skills, and discovered new abilities she never knew she had. Being part of a supportive learning environment has helped her step out of her comfort zone and believe in herself more than ever. Through her Hair and Beauty course, Amira has gained hands‑on experience in everything from styling and blow‑drying to client care and professional salon standards. She’s also built vital life skills, like time management, organisation, and responsibility. A huge part of her development has been her work placement, where she’s had the chance to experience what it’s really like to work in a salon. Amira has loved learning from her supportive co-workers - especially Becky and Jo - who have encouraged her, helped her grow in confidence, and shown her the importance of teamwork, communication, and delivering great customer service. She’s also gained valuable insights into the business side of the hair and beauty industry - from building a client base to understanding the importance of reputation and customer experience. 🌟 Amira’s journey shows just how powerful college experiences and work placements can be in shaping confidence, skills, and ambition. We’re incredibly proud of everything she has achieved so far, and we can’t wait to see her continue to shine in the hair and beauty industry! #NationalCareersWeek #NCW2026 #CollegesWeek2026 #LoveOurColleges
