Project OVERVIEW:
·
COSMO is a program to increase the
employability for Women in Jordan through cosmetology sector. It comes to
address the disparity between women and men in the workplace while also
teaching women valuable market and digital literacy skills. This project
intends to integrate theoretical cosmetic arts’ education with practical
training, raising the level of education and performance in this field to be
reflected in the story and type of professional work in community salons. The
Diploma of Cosmetics employs a curriculum that covers all the scientific and
practical aspects of cosmetology and the use of advanced technologies,
products, and tools in the correct manner. It also will cover the development
of basic life skills needed by students in the labor market such as social
communication skills, customer service, time management basics, and selling
beauty products.
