APHEDA’s
Hairdressing and Beauty International training commenced in 2010 and is
building each year. We are proud of our trainers and acknowledge the first
class skill levels they bring to our program. We at APHEDA highly recognise
their commitment and seek formal accreditation in Cambodia.
Our goal has always been two-fold, to train teachers “TOT” and
develop technical skills in one, resulting in quality Co-operatives in remote
communities for our trainees.
The key skill areas in the hair&beauty program are
women's hair cutting-6weeks, bridal up styling-6 weeks, make-up-1 week, nail art-4weeks, perming-1week
and today ToT is about International
Colour Application Techniques and small
business/co-operative management-1week. We at APHEDA concentrate on
teaching staff within the centres and trainers transfer their skills onto
students.
We are proud to work with our partners in five provinces
including some of the poorest districts of the country. They are:
- Women's Development Centres, Department of Women's Affairs - Preah Vihear
- Kampot and Thmar Kul - Battambang
- Cambodian Women for Peace and Development - Kampong Cham
- Community Education Centre - Mong Russey District, Battambang
- Department of Women's Affairs - Oddar Meanchey
Importantly, all our training includes life skill components
in reproductive health, HIV awareness, hygiene, anti-domestic violence and
nutrition training.
On completion, our graduates are supported to form small
cooperatives with interest free loans, equipment and financial management
training. We, at APHEDA recognise that skills without jobs are unsustainable.
APHEDA will continue to support teachers with a professional
development program, as this ensures currency and safety in the workplace.
Our next week of training includes International Colour
Application Techniques and Small Business Management. In 2015, our agenda will
include Wedding Outfitting, that’s dressing the bride and guests, and English
Language for Beginners.
