Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is on-the-job training that leads towards a qualification. HITO offers apprenticeships in hairessing, barbering and beauty therapy.
A HITO Training Agreement is a three-way agreement between the apprentice, their employer and HITO, who supports the apprenticeship journey.
An apprentice is a paid employee of a business. They work with a qualified trainer in their workplace to learn all the skills they need to become fully qualified and commercially viable. Hairdressing and barbering apprentices also attend Off-Job Training days organised by HITO at their nearest hairdressing or barbering school. Find out more
Gateway
The HITO Schools Gateway Programme is a great way for secondary school students to experience first-hand what it’s like to work in these industries. Students gain credits and a real practical understanding of these industries, to help them make informed choices about their future.
Gateway students complete work experience in your business, performing basic tasks like greeting clients, creating displays, and keeping the workplace clean and tidy.
If you are interested in taking on a Gateway student, please contact your local secondary school. Gateway Coordinators organise work experience placement of students in Gateway programmes. HITO also have a database of schools interested in the HITO Schools Gateway Programme. Find out more
