Cheshire College Students Put Talents on Display at WorldSkills

Cheshire College – South & West is delighted with the volume of students who are progressing to the next round of the prestigious WorldSkills competition; an event which is often compared to the Olympics for its international scope.

Cheshire College’s Ellesmere Port Campus saw extraordinary success in the Hair & Beauty and Hospitality & Catering departments, as thirteen Nail students, three Make-Up students, five Hospitality & Catering students and one Hair student have all qualified for the next intensive stage of the competition.

One of the lucky contenders is Level 3 Women’s Hairdressing Diploma student Rhian Barlow, whose elegant and technically sophisticated hairstyles have consistently impressed the expert judges.

Cheshire College Hair Lecturer, Karen Bennison, commented:

“Rhian works so hard to make sure that her work is perfect, and you can see this reflected in the final hair style. Her attention to detail is immaculate, and this will really help her during the next stage of the competition. We’re all cheering for her!”

Andrea Huby, Assistant Director of Hair, Beauty and Hospitality added:

“The quality of contestants this year has been outstanding and we’re so proud of all our finalists who represent a bright future for their respective industries. The technical skills these students possess are in such demand within the community and at Cheshire College we are delighted to play our part in helping them on their journey.”
