Graduation Ceremony at the HOB Academy in Camden
On Monday 22nd February 2016, award winning HOB Salon Group held their first Graduation Ceremony at the HOB Academy in Camden to celebrate the success of their Apprentices. Twenty Six of the HOB Apprentices received their Intermediate Apprenticeship Frameworks in Hairdressing and Barbering. Alongside the Apprentices, HOB celebrated eight of their Graduate Stylists and Colour Technicians, who received their final qualification and have joined their peers on the HOB Salon floor as fully qualified Hair Stylists or Colour Technicians. Parents, partners and friends attended the ceremony together with HOB Managers, Salon Managers, Assessors and Educators, to recognise the Apprentice achievements over a drinks reception, as each were presented with their Certificate of Achievement.
On the night, the Academy Team recognised one graduate in particular who showed true determination and passion throughout her training.
