Placement

Driven by the growing demand for specialised services in the Indian personal care market, VLCC, a category leader in the wellness domain with a strong global vision, started VLCC Institutes in 2001. The VLCC Institutes were established with the objective of rendering skilled professionals to the industry and helping students carve a niche for themselves in this creative world.

Today, the size of the industry is estimated at Rs. 6,000 crore, with an annual growth rate of 25-30 per cent. This robust growth rate has fuelled the demand for skilled professionals in the industry. It is estimated that the industry will require 5 lakh professionals in the next four years. Moreover, with the foray of corporates and international players in the industry, the demand for professionals with specializations has touched a new high. To meet this burgeoning rise, it was imperative to create a responsive system that could not only equip students with professional skills but also ensure rigorous vocational training.

Presently, the size of the vocational beauty education market is estimated at Rs. 110 crore and the VLCC Institutes are growing at 100 per cent annually. VLCC intends to launch 100 institutes across India by 2010. To ensure appropriate training and guidance to its students, VLCC Institutes are affiliated to the famous City and Guilds College, UK, thereby making it one of the most renowned educational institution in South Asia.

The Institute offers courses in Beauty, Health & Nutrition. The students at the VLCC institutes receive a holistic perspective of the industry, right from the induction, special lectures and seminars, to mid-term and end of term evaluations.

The faculty at the institute is highly qualified. The institutes are spread across all states, giving an opportunity to students living in small towns to acquire the same professional skills as those in the metros. The institute consciously maintains an optimum student-teacher ratio. VLCC's industry connections and nationally accredited degrees ensure high quality placements for its students.
