EXECUTIVE SPA GROUP can help you access grants to pay for your esthetics training courses.

GRANT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING.

If you are currently working, you should have a conversation with your employer regarding your future career goals and how they will benefit the workplace.

Your employer can apply for a grant to cover 2/3 of all training costs. You can only register for your desired training until your grant application has been approved. It usually takes about a month for the application to be approved, so don’t waste time, apply now!

If you are a new employee and have been there for less than 30 days, your employer is eligible for 100% of training costs in grant funding.

We can help with your grant application process.

Have your employer call or email us. We can make a trip to your workplace to help you sort out the process.

Can I pay for the training myself?

Yes. As the trainee, you can fund your own training costs, but your employer must apply on your behalf. Keep in mind that you will have to pay all training costs up front. Your employer will be reimbursed and will have to provide documentation demonstrating they in turn reimbursed you.

However, these types of grants are intended for your employer to invest in your development, therefore, it is expected that they will invest 1/3 of the costs, even if you are the one who paid for it up front.

When can I expect reimbursement?

You have 30 days after you complete your training to submit proof of completion in order to receive your reimbursement. On average, reimbursement takes 4-6 weeks post submission, so submit asap!

I AM NOT WORKING ATM.

If you are not working at the moment and have been unemployed for 30 consecutive days or more, you have the option to find an employer who will sponsor your training. When an employer hires a NEW employee, 100% of the training costs can be funded.

This option works especially well for experienced estheticians who require an additional skill to work at a certain spa.

If you are new to the beauty industry, we recommend applying for Receptionist or Assistant positions and working out a training plan with your new employer.

If you are having difficulty finding a sponsoring employer, you have other options, call or email us for more information.

Post Chair/Room Rental Job Listings Alberta

In a previous article, LinkedIn reports IBISWorld’s notes stating that beauty industry employment will grow steadily through 2017 at a nearly 4% annual rate.

Though these are U.S. figures, Canada is expecting a similar growth rate at 3.1%. In the article What’s Next? Beauty Industry Trends Point to Blooming Booth Rental Market, Elizabeth Kraus discusses relevant industry news as well as 6 ways the growing booth rental market might change the Beauty Industry.

Renting space in your salon/spa has pros and cons. Success in this personnel model depends primarily on 2 factors: your knowledge of rules and regulations on this topic, and the tenant/landlord relationship you conduct.

Like Judiffier Pearson says in the behindthechair.com’s article Booth Renting 101: A Guide for Owners and Renters, “The true spirit of booth renting is a tenant-landlord relationship”. Remember, this is an article from the U.S. thereby Canadian information may differ.

If you are well-informed, renting space in your salon or spa can be an excellent method of secure income.

How do I decide?

Consider this before investing in a beauty industry career. Despite what service attracts you the most, your success in the skills you choose will be self-directed. To clarify, there is more than mastering a skill to reap the benefits of a beauty career.

3 reasons why you want a beauty career.

The beauty about a beauty careers is that they are all boundary-less.

What is a boundaryless career❓

Allan Bird, Professor of Global Business, Northeastern University, defines it as a career path in which individuals must engineer their work lives on their own.

According to Bird, there are 3 principles to the Boundaryless Career:

1. The Boundaryless Career is self-directed.

The beauty industry is not for everyone. It takes more than providing a good service to succeed in this industry. You must also have a sense of self-direction, self-motivation, and of course, an entrepreneurial spirit! For example, creating professional accounts on social media platforms will help you reach new clients.

2. The Boundaryless Career is ill-structured.

Progress, success, and advancement comes from learning and mastering technical skills, meeting new people, and collaborating with new groups. Beauty careers can be very exciting if you do it right!

Above all, having great people skills is important. You don’t have to possess an outgoing personality, but because you direct your own career, you must be personable with the people you meet throughout your career.

Moreover, there is a very attractive flexibility to the beauty industry. Some employers offer 9-5 hours, however, many employers offer flexibility on work schedules due to evening and weekend work. This outside-the-box scheduling allows you more control of time.

3. The Boundaryless Career has psychological benefits and costs.

Some psychological benefits are creativity and self-expression. Beauty careers allow you to express yourself in ways you wouldn’t dream of in conventional careers! Exploring new techniques to bring your ideas to life in your services are ways to attain new levels of success in the beauty industry.

Self expression is an excellent way to promote yourself as a service provider. After all, your presentation speaks for your work.

Other psychological benefits

In addition, you can gain even greater control by working on commission. In this arrangement, you are better able to influence your income and schedule- a psychological benefit that comes from the independence and freedom a career in the beauty industry provides.
