Employers
Are you recruiting? Or want to develop existing staff? Michaeljohn Training School can help!
Michaeljohn was established in 1982 in Stockport and moved into Manchester city centre in 1999.
One of the many benefits for Michaeljohn apprentices is that our learners practice and develop their skills on clients rather than training blocks. We talk to our employers and understand the commercial requirements of the salon, the skills needed and the excitement of working in our industry. We understand the demanding nature of busy salons, offering flexible training delivery at the training school or in your salon, or a combination of both. We offer this because we know our apprentices are learning all the time and we wish to maximise that opportunity.
All of our staff are passionate about hairdressing and are regularly upskilled to remain current innovative and able to understand and meet your needs.
We have a dedicated recruitment department to make recruiting staff a breeze. Discuss your recruitment needs and skill levels and we will source and interview applicants in preparation for what the industry has to offer and what our employers need. We make good use of our industry and educational network of partners, sharing discounts from our suppliers to our employers as well as keeping you up to date with important changes that may affect business. Our standards are high and we work to make sure our learners succeed and realise ambitions and expectations.
