Lynda Whitehorn SRH
Apprenticeship Manager
VTCT
My whole working career has been immersed in and around apprenticeships right from leaving school and starting my first job.
I entered the world of hairdressing via an apprenticeship working for a very prestigious national salon chain in Southampton, called Raymonds. Those of you old enough to recognise this name will know ‘Teasey Weasey Raymond’ was the first celebrity hairdresser and one of his clients was the Queen.
I spent five years in this salon honing my skills and moving from apprentice to stylist and eventually senior stylist. Once qualified and with experience under my belt I took over the teaching and nurturing of the apprentices, within the salon training academy. During my career which has spanned many years, I have both employed apprentices and managed an apprenticeship programme, when I moved into Further Education teaching. When I first joined VTCT in 2010, part of my responsibilities were to maintain and review apprenticeship standards in the form of the National Occupation Standards (NOS) from which the SASE apprenticeships were derived. More recently I have been part of the reform for apprenticeship standards via the Trailblazers working groups. For many years I have championed the vocational route into employment as an equally credible alternative to academia and I am thrilled that this is now on the Government agenda with the release of new Hair Professional Standards for Hairdressing and Barbering.
