Dermalogica Gives Back: Brand Launches Grant Program to Empower the Next Generation of Industry Pros
The grant program is now accepting applications and supports education, mentorship, and skills training for non-profits training therapists in the US.
Dermalogica is offering a new grant program for non-profit organizations that help give greater access to skillset training in the United States.
The grant program is now accepting applications and supports education, mentorship, and skills training for non-profits training therapists in the US. Organizations supporting those in the professional hair, makeup, skin, and nails professions are encouraged to apply.
"We want to give people control over their careers and own their futures," says Aurelian Lis, Global CEO of Dermalogica, in a news release. Lis added, "Hands-based skills build careers, and skin health delivered through human touch will never be commoditized."
Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand learned the importance of having a skillset when, as a small child, her mother was suddenly widowed and relied on her nursing training to provide for her household. This lesson propelled Jane's entire career trajectory, and she trained in what was then called "beauty therapy," allowing her to find work all over the world and ultimately starting the International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica. By developing vocational skills at a local level and beyond, Dermalogica aims to help more people own their futures and affect global change.
