Hundreds of sixteen to eighteen year olds crowded into the old Mausica Teachers Training College in Mausica to compete in the Civilian Conservation Corps Hair, Make-up, Nails and Barbering Competition Cycle 2301 on Wednesday.
The students spent the last four months being taught these entrepreneurial skills by tutors from the various sectors.
CCC’s Programme Director, Major David Benjamin, encouraged the graduating cohort to put their new business skills to good use.
The competing teams from across Trinidad and Tobago showed up with their squads of cheering supporters. Each team competed fiercely to grab the coveted titles of Top Cosmetologist, Top Barber and Top Make Up Artist.
