Beauty product specialist, Richieda has launched the Richieda Business Academy in a bid to kick start the careers of NVQ2 and ITEC graduates from beauty therapy courses throughout the UK.

Launched by Richieda's founder Roger Byrne, the academy aims to help graduates develop their own businesses at no extra cost to themselves. 'Beauty therapy is multi-million pound industry but sadly up to 1,000 graduates will be struggling to get a job in the next few months,' said Byrne.

Successful applicants will be given a full rage of skincare products, a range of of other treatments, such as facemasks to run their own beauty therapy business, says Byrne. 'There will be no contract and no restrictive conditions. All we ask is that they use Richieda products.' Details: info@richieda
