Career Opportunities
Could the Spa Industry Be the Right Career Move for YOU?
Are you interested in caring for people in a hands-on way? Would you enjoy working in an environment dedicated to wellness and to the physical, mental and spiritual health and well being of its guests and clients? Consider entering the World of Spa.
Why choose a career in the spa industry? Because the number of related jobs and job opportunities are many and varied. And the demand for well-trained spa professionals throughout the industry remains steady throughout Canada.
What are some typical spa jobs?
- Esthetician
- Massage Therapist
- Nail Technician
- Hair Stylist
- Nutritional Consultant
- Fitness Trainer
- Medical Doctor
- Registered Nurse
- Receptionist
- and many, many more!
Qualified spa professionals can find employment in day spas, resort spas, cruise ships, health clubs, massage clinics, medical spas and other health and wellness-related businesses not only in Canada, but around the world.
While the number of spas in Canada continues to grow (at an average rate of 17% per year for the past 10 years), the demand for well-trained, qualified personel has struggled to keep pace. In 2007, there were 31,000 employees in the Canadian Spa Industry - up from 26,000 in 2006 - working in more than 2,800 spas from coast to coast.
Especially in these tough economic times, planning a career or thinking of a career move into the Spa Industry is well worth your consideration. Why? Health and Wellness are not going out of style any time soon and, in fact, will continue to be an integral and necessary part of today's demanding life style.
