Lola Hair and Beauty College officially launched to promote TVET

Lola Hair and Beauty College in Accra has been officially launched to provide Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in cosmetology and hair styling to young people.

The institution has been in operation for the past eight years and has seen hundreds of young people trained, many of whom are now self-employed across the Greater Accra Region and beyond.

The grand opening was held on Friday, 25th April, at the college’s premises in West Legon, a suburb of Haatso in Accra. During the event, Reverend Latifa Adekanla, the founder and chief executive director of the college, shared the emotional story behind the college’s founding.

It was revealed by Reverend Latifa that, following the completion of her university education, attempts to secure a white-collar job had been unsuccessful. A prophecy advising her to enter the hair and beauty industry was received, though it was initially resisted due to her academic background. “I am a graduate; I hold a Master’s degree from GIMPA,” she recalled.

Eventually, however, the path was accepted, and she stated, “My Master’s has been completed, but a livelihood has been found in hair and beauty.”

Young people were urged by Rev. Latifa to consider vocational training as a viable route to self-employment, rather than relying solely on employment opportunities from the state or private sector. She also urged parents to support their children in acquiring practical skills alongside formal education.

“It need not be the case that exams must be failed before vocational training is pursued,” she noted. “Parents should be encouraged to allow their children to engage in vocational activities as part of their extracurricular development.”

Praise was given to the initiative by the guest speaker, Obuabia Darko-Opoku, the Deputy Acting Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL). She stated that the project would contribute to reducing youth unemployment across the country.

The importance of vocational training, with or without formal education, was stressed by her. “Not all of us will enter the corporate world,” she said. “Vocational paths should be considered as individuals seek to define their futures.”

The director, who’s also the CEO of Hair & Beauty by Lola, one of Accra’s most sought-after hair and beauty salon, emphasised that the Lola College is in line with the government’s programmes to empower young people under the TVET sector, hence it must be welcomed to enable smooth operation and collaboration.

The college, now in its eighth year, has been equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and modern tools, with which students are trained to industry standards.

Currently, an enrolment of over 15 students has been recorded, and more than 10 teaching and non-teaching staff have been employed.

At the event, Rev. Minister Latifa Adekanla, founder of Lola Hair and Beauty College, also launched the Lola Hope Foundation Ghana to empower young and vulnerable individuals in the Greater Accra Region and beyond.
