Q: Thanks so much for chatting with us today Felicia! Let’s start with the basics. What program did you take at CBBC Career College?
Felicia Headley: I took the Cosmetology – Hairdressing program which was offered out of Aspirations Training Salon in Sydney and I just graduated on July 22!
Q: Congratulations on your grad and on all of your success in the program. What are your plans now?
FH: To get to work! I have been offered four full-time hourly positions and have also received two chair rental offers. I only applied for one of these jobs too which is pretty cool. Lots of opportunities to work and put my skills to good use!

FH: I have always been interested in hairdressing. It is something that will allow me to use my creativity and get paid at the same time. A dream career for me!
Q: Why did you choose CBBC?
FH: There were a couple factors that helped me to choose CBBC. Past students had told me that they loved their time at the college, which was a big plus for me! Also, the program is less than a year so I could get out of school and working as fast as possible.
Q: Did CBBC give you all of the skills that you need to be successful?
FH: YES! CBBC gave me the skills I need to be successful, and MORE! I think that’s evident by all of my job offers. I feel confident and ready to start work and put all of my skills to good use. I’m very excited for the future.
