Complete with robust student tools filled with theory content and extensive instructor training, this program will help elevate enrollment and increase retail and service revenue for the school, develop the teaching skills of your instructors and create students who are better prepared to succeed in the industry.
You may be wondering “how will I have time to fit all of these lessons into my curriculum”.
This program requires only 24 out of 1,500 hours to deliver the theory content and systems to your students. This content will be used every day by your students in the classroom and on the clinic floor. With the real-world application of these business concepts, you are giving your students the opportunity to essentially train as a professional while in school.
The core of the Business Fundamentals Program is delivered via a full-color binder, providing engaging designs and jam-packed with supporting photos and illustrations including. A career profile is provided at the beginning of each lesson that includes in-depth, topic-specific interviews with notable professionals. Each profile reveals the importance of the topics being discussed in each section to inspire, motivate and engage your students.
Students will receive training centered around 12 lessons, each of which plays a vital role in developing foundational business skills.
A spiral bound appointment book has been created for students to help drive organization and results.
Milady understands what goes into running a school, which is why we have taken the necessary steps to make adding a business training program to your existing curriculum as seamless as possible, including extensive online instructor training and post-training implementation support.
"I wanted to give my students an advantage in the field. We all know that technical skills will only take them so far, they need to know the business aspect of our industry to be successful. This program gives us all of the tools we need to consistently teach them in an organized and professional manner."
"We feel that it gives our students a competitive edge when going to get a job in the beauty industry. They know how to market themselves, build a clientele, and up-serve. Business Fundamentals also teaches the importance of selling retail. In a tough economy, having an advantage that others seeking employment may not have could make the difference in getting a job."
"We have had several students call the school after they have started working in a salon to tell their Business Fundamentals instructor about how much money they have made over the previous week or how many new clients they have had in the salon due to the skills they have learned in the Business Fundamentals course. They want to thank them for teaching them how to not only enjoy what they do, but to be able to make a living doing it."
"Business Fundamentals has definitely made a difference in our retail sales, the quality of our client consultations, and the market appeal of our graduates."
"We chose Business Fundamentals for our school to gain a point of difference from our local competition, and to improve our curriculum and the success of our graduates."
Offering a program like Business Fundamentals is going to set your school apart from the rest. To assist you in communicating this program to prospective students, all-new marketing tools have been designed and will be provided to you in the form of flyers, posters, multimedia presentations and website graphics.
