L’Oréal Professionnel Products: Focus on Learning

Five brands of professional products (L’Oréal Professional, Kérastase, Redken, Matrix, Mizani),190 training centres and more than 1,2 million hairdressers make up the L’Oreal network in hairdressing.

In developing a strategy to contribute to preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS, L’Oréal has built on its networks and core competency in education to begin integrating an HIV and AIDS-specific module into all its training programmes. The simple yet ambitious aim of the programme is to improve knowledge and understanding about HIV and AIDS among hairdressing professionals.

UNESCO: HIV and AIDS Education for All

UNESCO has a strong record in education for life skills among young adults. UNESCO is the lead institution within the United Nations’ system for HIV prevention with young people. It works to help governments develop and implement a comprehensive education response to HIV and AIDS and leads the inter agency collaboration in the field.

UNESCO also works in close partnership with a number of public and private organizations to advance education for all. It has a long-standing partnership with L’Oréal that made collaboration natural for this programme.
