Beauty & Wellness Sector Skill Council (B&WSSC) is a recognised Awarding Body of National Council for Vocational Education & Training (NCVET) under the aegis of Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and is promoted by CII with support from the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). The definition of beauty is a set of aesthetically pleasing characteristics. However, it’s more than shiny hair, flawless nails and perfect make-up that make someone beautiful. It’s bright eyes, a warm smile, and a posture that conveys confidence.
The Beauty and Wellness sector is growing at a fast pace and is an important industry in India. It contributes a lot to the country’s economic growth and is gradually becoming a leading employer — creating millions of employment opportunities. The reason for this exponential growth is rising consumerism, globalisation and changing lifestyles of Indian consumers.
A Beauty and Wellness course typically refers to an educational program or training focusing on various aspects of beauty, skincare, makeup, and overall well-being. Beauty and Wellness courses are designed to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a career in the beauty and wellness industry.
