Notjust x Navigators – The next generation of barbers 

A leading barbers in the heart of Manchester have teamed up with the alternative education provider ‘Navigators’ to provide young people with the experience of working in the barbering industry. 

The opportunity to provide this level of experience and insight for young people is something close to the hearts of Notjust’s co-founders, Tom Burbidge and Nathan Haley. 

Speaking on the decision work with Navigators, Nathan Haley said the following: “Barbering as an alternative to more traditional job roles is incredible both for the wide array of opportunities it can provide, and also the stimulation for creative individuals in a fast-changing environment. 

2 1 238x300 1 A career in barbering may also be something that many young people would not consider without actually trying it out. 

Overall, we wanted to provide young people via Navigators the opportunity to experience an alternative creative output to put their energies into, which can very realistically turn into a flourishing career”. 

Notjust took one student via Navigators through their 10 week barbering training course, taking the student through barbering fundamentals and insights into how to get started in a career in barbering. Based on the success of this pilot programme, Notjust expected to work with Navigators in the future as a means of continuing to provide alternative education options to young people.
