In a concerted attempt to support and strengthen the beauty industry and its aspiring beauticians, Nature's Secrets has been in an active partnership with Sri Lanka's Vocational Training Authority (VTA) for almost a decade. The VTA organizes beauty culture training programmes countrywide and takes steps to effectively improve the skills of new beauty "aspirants. Nature's Secrets has been at the forefront in initiating, training and sponsoring these programmes, including providing beauty products free of charge for their beauty lessons.
In addition, since 2013 Nature's Secrets has begun to offer valuable foreign scholarships annually to VTA instructors. This invaluable opportunity will enable the VTA instructors to gain further knowledge and skills directly from renowned professional beauty culture specialists at the Chetawan Health School in Thailand. Equipped with greater skills and exposure, these VTA instructors can in turn train beauticians in Sri Lanka, improving their knowledge and thereby directly and indirectly contribute towards a more knowledgeable and developed beauty industry.
Similar to last. year, ten VTA beauty instructors will be offered scholarships to train in Thailand for a period of seven days in September 2014. The official scholarship awarding ceremony was held on 4th September, 2014 at Ministry of Youth Affairs & Skills Development, Nipunatha Piyasa, Colombo 05.
