Bethany, 15, joined YMCA Training Leeds on its
hairdressing and beauty therapy programme for 14-16 year olds after
being referred by her school.
When Bethany first joined the programme, she had very little
confidence and found interacting with her peers quite challenging
but demonstrated high levels of enthusiasm for her chosen subject
of hairdressing and beauty therapy.
Bethany received support and guidance from both her parents and
staff at YMCA Training Leeds, and now has the confidence to support
and motivate others.
Bethany has achieved Level 1 BSC Health and Safety at Work
Award, Entry 3 Award in Introduction to the Hair and Beauty Sector
and has now progressed onto Beauty Consultancy Level 2 at The
Central College of Health and Beauty in Leeds.
