Career Seekers/Apprentice

Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally recognized credential.

Our goal is to partner with  mentoring salons, shops, studios and beauty industry apprentice candidates to provide oversight, reporting and fundamental training to enhance the on the job training provided by the training provider. We facilitate motivated individuals to realize sustainable careers within the beauty industry. We provide education, resources and a community in which to thrive. We make it our goal to make apprenticeship easy and fun for both the salon, shop, studio and the apprentice. We want the employer to remove a hat ~ pass it to us, because we strive to take people out of the kitchen, off of the porch and into amazing salon studios where they can GET A TRADE! GET A LICENSE! GET PAID! All three at the same time…

Thank you for your interest in our apprentice program.
