Professional Certification Opportunities
Work-based Learning Opportunities
Students are encouraged to complete WBL experiences with salons and spas in Dillon and surrounding counties. These experiences give the students an opportunity to "test drive" a career. This empowers the student with the knowledge that they love the career or that it may not be for them, allowing them to change course to a career that best fit them. Either way the student will save time and money. If they love it the student will already have experience, contacts, references for the industry allowing them to start earning money sooner and likely at a higher than entry level. If they don't love, it the student will not waist any more time pursuing a career that is not a good fit for them.
