The High Lady Beautician School in Goaso, the Ahafo Regional Capital, has opened admissions to young women interested in acquiring practical skills in the beauty and personal care industry.
The initiative is aimed at equipping young people with employable skills that can support self-reliance and create opportunities for entrepreneurship within their communities.
The school offers training in areas including hair braiding, wig making, weave-on and make-up, alongside other aspects of beauty and personal care.
Founder of the school, Ms Dorothy Bonsu, said the initiative was inspired by her desire to contribute to efforts to address youth unemployment through practical skills training.
She said creating opportunities for young people to acquire employable skills was important, particularly because not everyone could depend on formal employment after completing school.
“We cannot rely on the government for everything. That is why I came up with the High Lady Beautician School to help, nurture and teach those interested in the beautician sector,” she said.
Ms Bonsu explained that the school’s focus goes beyond teaching technical beauty skills, with an emphasis on helping trainees develop the confidence and abilities needed to work for themselves.
She believes equipping young people with practical skills can enable them to create opportunities for themselves while potentially providing employment for others within their communities.
According to her, such initiatives could also complement government efforts to tackle unemployment and allow the state to devote greater attention to other development priorities.
“At the end of the day, the government will get some relief so it can also focus on other areas such as development, roads and other important projects,” she added.
Ms Bonsu said the school would continue to support young ladies who show interest in learning the trade and developing themselves through skills training.
The latest admissions form part of the school’s broader effort to provide practical training opportunities for young women in Goaso and surrounding communities.
By providing hands-on training in beauty and personal care, High Lady Beautician School seeks to give participants practical capabilities that can support self-employment and contribute to economic activity within their communities.
