π Wishing Annette and Marina the very best at World Skills Ireland this week π
We are incredibly proud to have two of our hairdressing apprenticeship teachers playing such an important role in this years competition with Annette taking on the role of head judge and Marina on the judging team.
While we will see them judging during the competition this week, their involvement goes far beyond the competition floor. Months of planning, preparation, organisation and hard work go into bringing an event like this together and both Annette and Marina have dedicated so much time and expertise behind the scenes.
Wishing you both a fantastic week at World Skills Ireland we are very proud to have you both representing our hairdressing dept in WCFE and the National Hairdressing Apprenticeship.
Best of luck to all the competitors taking part βοΈ βοΈ
