Taster Days and Why You Should Use Them

The Apprenticeship Godmother

In this episode of The Apprenticeship Godmother Podcast, host Sarah Abel discusses the importance of implementing "taster days" at both training academies and salons.

She shares how offering taster experiences has helped reduce dropout rates for potential apprentices at her training academy, TNB. By allowing young people and career changers to experience a day in the life at a salon through hand and nail services done by students, it helps build confidence and understanding before fully committing. Sarah encourages salon owners to consider taster programs as a way to help determine if an apprentice is truly suited for the work and find the best long term fits.

In this episode you will learn:

• The challenges young people face when applying for apprenticeships
• How taster days help build confidence
• Why some apprentices leave salons after a few months
