We just got word that La Palm Spa Products is looking for educators. It’s launching the La Palm Leadership & Artistry Academy (LLAA), where qualified nail techs can get certified and expand their knowledge of all La Palm brands and techniques.

The first Educator Certification Training event will take place Oct. 6 to 8 in Philadelphia. Rose Velez, director of education for

La Palm, will lead the workshop, which will begin with an overview of Gel II/Polish II, Pure Organics, enhancement gel, and acrylic, followed by hands-on learning and individual evaluation.

To apply, submit a portfolio or resume and cover letter online at http://geltwo.com/careers.php. Selected applicants will be invited to complete the LLAA Educator Certification Training course focusing on technical training as well as preparations for becoming an educating sales consultant.

Continual education courses and more certification events will be offered throughout the year in various locations.

Educator benefits include participation at special national and international events, access to new products, educator kits, and special product discounts.
