South Tyneside College beauty students recognised in national and international competitions
Two local students are preparing to take on some of the most talented young people from across the country and the world.
A second South Tyneside College student has been selected as a national finalist in a skills competition.
Level 3 beauty student Jaycie Slesser was selected as a WorldSkills UK finalist after impressing judges at a regional heat in York.
She will now compete in the UK finals in November where she will compete against some of the most talented young people in her field.
Jaycie will follow in the footsteps of fellow South Tyneside College student Neve Dunn, who has already been successful at the national level.
In September Neve will head to Shanghai to take part in the WorldSkills International Finals, which will take place in Shanghai in China.
Organised by the WorldSkills brand, the competitions allow talented young people to develop and explore their skillsets against some of their best peers in their region before taking on the best in the country and beyond.
