Istituto Marangoni and L'Oréal Italia together to train beauty talents

The project in collaboration with L'Oréal Italia includes several teaching formats, designed to meet the needs of students and professionals at international level:

- an introductory short course

- A three-year undergraduate course, starting in October, for national and international students interested in a career in the beauty industry

- Intensive professional programmes dedicated mainly to professionals and the L'Oréal Professional Products division network.

The three-year programme integrates creative, technical and managerial skills. After a first year dedicated to the fundamentals of beauty, hair styling and design, students can choose between three different specialisation tracks (one track on Hair Design, one on Brand Management, one on Make up Art).

All course participants will have access to the facilities and workshops organised at the L'Oréal Italia Academy, a place of excellence for professional technical training.

In addition, thanks to the partnership with the L'Oréal Professional Products division, students will have the opportunity to come into direct contact with the company's network, accessing career development opportunities with leading professional salon partners.

The initiative reflects Istituto Marangoni's growing investment in beauty training, in response to the international demand for professionals capable of combining advanced technical-artistic skills with strategic and managerial abilities in premium and luxury beauty services.

"This partnership with L'Oréal Italia marks the birth of a new training model that, taking inspiration from the high training courses in fashion and luxury, integrates them with the best professional excellence in the beauty industry, giving rise to new academic courses that are unique at international level," says Stefania Valenti, Managing Director of Istituto Marangoni. "An innovative multidisciplinary vision, set to build a virtuous ecosystem to train a new generation of talents capable of integrating creativity, technical excellence and entrepreneurial vision, preparing them to lead and innovate the beauty industry at an international level".

'Italia is the land of beauty and the home of luxury. In this context, we have a duty to attract and train the talents of tomorrow. Through this partnership between L'Oréal Italia and Istituto Marangoni, we combine academic excellence with our expertise in the beauty industry, transforming a market need into a growth opportunity for the entire country. Together, we offer young people a unique pathway to raise professionalism in the sector and lead the beauty industry into the future," comments Ninell Sobiecka, President and CEO of L'Oréal Italia.

"Hair-styling has always been an art form that can shape identity and culture. As a pioneer and change-maker in the industry, I have dedicated my career to challenging conventions and promoting a more holistic and personalised approach to hair-styling. The recognition of hair-styling through a dedicated academic course at the prestigious Istituto Marangoni is a significant step towards a greater appreciation of this extraordinary profession. It is a pleasure for me to contribute to a programme that will inspire a new generation of creatives and transmit the philosophy of the Ferretti Method to the students who will help define the future of hair-styling," adds Rossano Ferretti.

With this project, Istituto Marangoni further strengthens its position as an international point of reference in higher education in the fashion, design and luxury sectors, while at the same time expanding its commitment to the development of the future players in the global beauty industry.
