A future in cosmetology or barbering is in your sights. You know that preparing for a career in cosmetology is an important first step in your journey to becoming a state licensed cosmetologist or barber, and you also know that in addition to a formal trade program, an apprenticeship may be an option. You want to find the best method of preparation for state licensure, so you’ve been weighing the benefits of completing a formal cosmetology/barbering program or an apprenticeship.
Apprenticeships have been a trusted and long-standing method of preparing workers for jobs while satisfying the need for a highly skilled workforce. Unlike a formal educational program through a trade school, apprenticeships follow an employer-driven model that combines on-the-job training and related curricula. This will set you leaps and bounds ahead in your new career.
Apprenticeships are not for everyone, but for the right person, they are a valuable and worthwhile path to state licensure and an exciting career as a cosmetologist or barber!
The typical apprenticeship consists of the following components:
Business Involvement: Cosmetology instructors are the foundation of an apprenticeship, playing an active role in building the apprenticeship program and remaining deeply involved during the course of the apprenticeship.
Structured, On-The-Job Training: Apprentices receive training from an experienced cosmetologist or licensed instructor at the job site. The training of a cosmetology apprentice focuses on the skills and knowledge required to be fully proficient & successful as a independent artist.
Related Instruction: An important component of any apprenticeship is related instruction in cosmetology theory. Students of cosmetology apprenticeships must complete study in cosmetology theory, either through self-study, online study, or classroom study.
Benefits of an apprenticeship to students:
Provides hands-on career training that results in improved skills and competencies.
Provides real-world experiences to prepare students for a career in cosmetology or barbering.
Apprenticeships often translate into job offers upon state licensure.
During training- apprentice will take their own guest and receive hourly, tips & have a huge jump start on building client relations early in their career in their community.
Ensuring your education is current with the New & Now of the industry.
No wasted time.
