Goal of the future education workshop:
To gather the views, opinions and issues of stakeholders in the education and skills pathways into careers in the cosmetics industry, especially in cosmetic science.
Target participant: academia, industry, students.
Format:
Stakeholders from across the sector have been invited to give a short presentation on their views on the question.
“What should the future of cosmetic science education look like?”
There will be 5 x 5 min talks.
What the workforce needs will be in the coming years
Ana Filippa Calado – Arthur Edward Associates
What is being designed into educations provision in Universities
Gabriela Daniels – LCF
What are student’s expectations of the education they are receiving
Rayanne Golding – Future Soc
Cosmetic science education for in work study
Bernice Ridley – SCS
New developments in science and relevance to the cosmetics industry
Majella Lane – UCL/Editor IJCS
Talks will be followed by a Panel discussion and audience Q&A. Some initial questions can include:-
- Can we/should we try to achieve a level playing field so that ‘in work skill standards’ are generally good across the board (possibly a role of the SCS Diploma?) How do University courses fit in with this?
- How can we make all the educational offers in cosmetic science courses more attractive to learners to aid recruitment.
Next steps beyond the workshop…
Use the findings to help design a dedicated summit with a further purpose and aims and which could take place over a day or two with involvement of all stakeholders.
