PHASE2FACE Beauty College graduates 2019/2022 Batch

Phase2Face Beauty College has graduated its 2019 to 2022 batch in Dome Pillar 2, a suburb of Accra.

Founder and Director of the school, Faustina Annor Abini, in her address emphasized the need for one to be hungry for success irrespective of the challenges that come with life.

She said the objective for establishing the school is to prevent graduate unemployment and unemployment related issues, and to excel and impact society positively.

With a simplified moto: “stay informed, in touch and in style”, Phase2Face Beauty College, formerly Phase2phace Beauty Clinic and College has been in operation since 2008 specializing in training, related arts and sciences.

Over the years, the school has seen a remarkable developmental phases.
Currently training in Nail Technician, Make up Artistry, Braiding, Skin care and Body therapy, among others, the school can boast of students who are contributing their quota immensely to the development of Ghana’s economy.

With the mission to produce well rounded professional graduates, Mrs Annor Abini said the fear of becoming jobless after tertiary education inspired her to take up such an initiative.

“The passion to establish a school of this kind that teaches hands on skill, after I finished school, secondary school and other tertiary, the edge kept coming.

“I’m a stenographer secretary, but then I didn’t enjoy it, I felt like I was still going back to the braiding and other things. So I picked it up.

“I had an experience where my elder sisters and family members, friends will finish school, big school, and they will not get anything to do. So it bothered me and when I see girls going about not doing anything and they’re moving around aimlessly, I don’t feel good.

“As you can see there’s a gentleman in there as part of them, so they’re making a stride in the industry and this is going a long way to help them. They’re able to fend for themselves and I think it is going far,” she stated.

Asked why one should choose Phace2Face Beauty Clinic and College over other schools, Mrs Annor Bini reacted “…We have a state of the arts facility here now, I don’t even know what to say.”

According to her, the upgrade the college has seen so far is huge.

“We have computers, we have the generic class, Our hair class is finished, massage is finished. We have everything to train you to be a professional.

“The emphasis is professional because there’s a lot of training institutions out there. Not to mess up anybody’s work, but I’m talking about professionalism, how to do it and do it well. We have the tools, we have the state of the art tools to give 21st century training to you. It’s not only having the tools, but we can be able to train you the best way because we have experienced facilitators too,” she stated.

Some of the graduating students also shared their experience in enrolling in Phase2Face Beauty College and the challenges that have come with it especially for the male participants.

One of the Male graduates, Francis Authur said “most people think men in this kind of sector are ‘gays’.

He therefore called on Ghanaians to dispose off such a mentality because he is in the beauty sector, but he isn’t part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Francis said he is not moved by the perceptions people have but to do what is right.

Chairman at the event and an International CBT Expert in TVET Educational Technologies Engr. Dr. Stephen Turkson also took the opportunity to urge parents to educate their kids on the benefits of TVET related courses.

He said, “Countries that have advanced in their economy are countries that have taken interest in TVET Education and training”.

Dr. Turkson emphasized the many benefits one gets in technical training, one of which is a major source of livelihood for the entire life of people.

In all , about 16 students – male and females graduated on the day while the new name of the institution, Phase2Face Beauty College was outdoored.

One of the crucial driving forces for every national development is TVET Education.
