Launch of the RISE Programme

We were delighted to host the official launch of the RISE Programme (Ready for Industry, Success & Excellence) at our Langside Campus. RISE is a new qualification which has been designed to bridge the gap between education and the Hair, Beauty, Spa, and Wellness industries.

Developed by Fiona Jackson at Salonwise in partnership with the Beauty department at Glasgow Clyde College, and accredited by HABIA, it focusses on supporting beauty students who are entering the industry and qualified professionals seeking CPD.

The RISE Programme consists of two units, Excellence in Practice and Preparing for Success and aims to elevate industry standards and provide the next generation of therapists with confidence, initiative, resilience, competence and a growth mindset.

Julie Wales, Head of Sector Faculty of Health, Wellbeing and Management said, “We are incredibly proud that the Beauty Department at Glasgow Clyde College has been selected as the development partner of choice for this qualification. This recognition reflects the expertise, professionalism and commitment of our team, and our continued focus on shaping high‑quality, industry‑relevant learning for the sector.”
