ORÍKÌ Group is Inviting you to the Launch of Her Training Institute + Franchise Launch
Founder Oriki - Joycee Awosika
ORIKI, a wellness and grooming brand, is launching a training institute and also announcing its Global Franchise opportunity. Founded by Mrs. Joycee Awosika in 2015, ORÍKÌ is coincidentally turning 6 this month. The event is to introduce you to what ORÍKÌ has in store and also an avenue to meet the founder of ORÍKÌ and her team. ORÍKÌ is changing the face of the wellness industry and we want you to experience this.
The ORIKI Global Franchise opportunity is cementing the fact that there has never been a better time to own an ORÍKÌ spa. The global spa market is projected to grow at the rate of 5.7% annually and is projected to be worth $128 billion by 2022. The growth in the spa industry is, even more, overwhelming in emerging markets, one of them being sub-Saharan Africa which ranks no. 1 in spa revenue growth. Owning an ORÍKÌ franchise not only gives an opportunity for lucrative investment and successful business, but it also allows you to leave a tangible positive impact on thousands of lives. Through the launch, we invite entrepreneurs to join the ORÍKÌ movement. The increasing emphasis on self-care is here to stay. With such a demand for the services of spas, it’s only natural that joining the ORÍKÌ family offers a great opportunity for financial success and impact footprint.
ORÍKÌ Training Institute (OTI) is a subsidiary of ORÍKÌ Group, committed to supporting spa, wellness businesses and industry professionals across Africa by providing training, job creation, empowering women in Lagos State, Nigeria, and Africa as well as providing consultancy services and influencing industry standards. We will be offering comprehensive training programs and consultancy services to spa professionals and individuals interested in venturing into the spa and wellness industry. ORÍKÌ Training Institute plans to provide more women with employability and entrepreneurial skills to enable them to get gainful employment and set up businesses of their own within the Spa industry. As a training institute, we hope to create more job opportunities and initiatives that support women entrepreneurs and bridge the gender equality gap.
Our mission is to create a platform for interested and enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about being a Spa therapist and/or owning an ORIKI franchise around the world.
We would love you to be a part of this initiative!
