Connecting to My Future vs ApprenticePro

Connecting to My Future is a professional development app designed to help transform yourself into your new role as a successful, confident, and knowledgeable salon, spa, or barbering professional. Having this strong foundation is key to success in the beauty and barbering industries. This book focuses on the following: Essential skills — Also known as “soft skills,” and include communication, empathy, mindfulness, social and emotional IQ, the Be Nice culture, being a team player, and more. Career services — Teaches professional career preparedness skills and provides the hiring opportunity connections for school graduates with salon, spa, and barbershop owners and managers. Financial literacy — This is how students gain a financial education and the confidence to properly manage and understand their money. Each chapter of the app connects the reader with inspirational and experienced mentors, along with activities, videos, and MASTERS Podcast interviews.

ApprenticePro is the training and retention platform built for salon companies. Cosmetology grads need 6–9 months of in-salon training, and every new hire can cost thousands in lost floor revenue. ApprenticePro removes that burden with clear standards, predictable progression, and consistency—without constant owner oversight. Onboard new stylists, build real skills through structured tiers, and keep your team longer. Mentor guides, tier goals, orientation checklists, and a built-in drip schedule do the heavy lifting, so your senior stylists stay on the floor. Proven and built for teams of every size. Turn new talent into floor-ready professionals—and keep them. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
