My school offers Cosmetology, Barber, Nail Technology, Skincare programs. Each program has some similarities and yet are also different. My goal is to learn more about each program to better convey this information to the prospect by visiting with the instructors; local salon/barber shop owners; working graduates. Reviewing career opportunities in newspapers and internet listings as part of my personal ongoing education.
Programs offered on our campus are: Cosmetology & Salom Mgmt., MBC & Healthcare Reimbursement, Medical Assisting & Medical Office Mgmt., Surgical Technology, Network Engineering, Business Administration, Nursing, Culinary & Pastry Arts. Each admissions representative is asssigned as a product specialist and assigned to particular programs. The program directors from each program then works with htat admissions rep directly. Each program director also holds a meeting for product knowledge for all admissions reps.
We are a small Cometology School in St. Pete, Fl. We offer Cosmetology, Skin Care, Nail Technology, and Full Specialist. I do think it takes time to fully understand and be a fully functional Admissions Rep. I'm a Director and I know for my own experience that had I not been here for so long I may not have known all I know. As far as the jobs in our particular business the grassroots is literally right around the corner, Salons, and Spas are always calling us for New Technicians. Even with the current economy we get calls weekly, I also followup, and keep binders with information of all the shops in the area. We also have a job board with the latest postings.
We offer program that are healthcare related. The best way to learn about the jobs students train for is to talk with the instructor of the class. and to visit the extership sites.
We offer the Home health Aide, the Nursing Assistant, and the Patient Care Assistant program.
We do student placement, we get contact with the company the student will be working for, that's how we know about jobs the student train for.
Jeanne,
I would suggest that you tap into the resources right at your school. Visit classes, talk with program chairs or introduce your students to faculty. Everyone loves to talk about what they do.
We offer program that consist of medical, computer, criminal justice, business management, and looking at adding new programs this fall. The best way to learn about the jobs stdents train for is talking with the instructors, review their books and sitting in on the classes.
We are specifically Cosmetology. That in itself is a large program. Depending on the state and their requirements, most students would not have time to take additional programs or classes in our current format.
It would be a great benefit to work out a plan in the future where we could offer additional subjects based on the length of the program major they are taking.
I would think this is based on each institution and how they structure their program.
I agree Externship does rock, we require that all of our student do an externship at the end of the class and lab work. So that they can test there new skills that they have just learned from our program, and It also allows us to evaluate our teaching technical and make sure that we are effective in our course.
We are a very small school, and we only offer one program. And the knowledge that I and my fellow co-workers have about our training program comes from years of experience in this field.
THere is only one two year program offered at the school. Two instructors alternate their program start years so two programs are run at the same time, but offset by one year.
We offer programs in IT, Nursing and Electronics. The best way to learn about the programs is through product knowledge training
We provide a variety of programs ranging from business, electronics, health care and drafting and designing. The website provides a wonderful informational tool along with an interactive presenation.
We are a cosmetology school and offer specialty training on skin and nails. We have been in business since 1988 so our reputation holds. We also use online and advertising through different sources. newspaper, verizon pages, online and our website.
Sheila,
The program chairs are great resources to learn about the programs. Meet with them often.
I agree, externships can provide insight into what will be expected of the student once he/she graduates. Our Education programs are the only ones that require an externship. It is a state requirement for all individuals pursuing an elementary teaching degree.
My institution offers degree programs and certificate programs. The degree programs, Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral programs. We have a great tool that describes the type of positions, based on the degree program, that our graduates are being prepared for. In addition, we can speak to the college chairs, instructors and academic advisors. These individuals can provide more information as to the jobs our graduates are training for
The five most popular programs with highest enrollment are:
