WORK BASED LEARNING:
Work-Based Learning Programs (WBL) is a continuum of awareness, exploration, preparation, and training activities, including developing employability and technical skills that support success in careers and postsecondary education.
Structured learning and authentic work experiences are implemented through an education and industry partnership. Students have the opportunity to connect what they learn in school with worksite application, enabling a smooth transition into the workforce and/or education beyond high school. Work-Based Learning activities culminate in an assessment and recognition of acquired knowledge and skills.

WHAT IS A CTE PROGRAM?
Career Technical Education (CTE) is a program of study that prepares students for college and careers through a multi-year sequence of courses that integrates both core academics with technical skills within a career pathway.
OBJECTIVE:
To prepare the students in mastering skills and knowledge that is required to successfully pass the South Carolina State Board of Cosmetology Exam; as well as preparing the students for a career in the cosmetology industry.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The cosmetology course is designed to provide the subject and techniques that are mandated by the State Board of Cosmetology. The students will be exposed to the technical application of practical, technical skills, theory, interpersonal, communication skills and personal development. The curriculum combines classroom and technical instruction along with practical application of the skills learned. Upon completion of the course, students will obtain the hours and skills that are required by the State Board of Cosmetology.
CLOCK HOURS: 500 hours per year!

LICENSED HAIR BRAIDER WHILE IN COSMETOLOGY:
Students also have the option of obtaining an SC Braiders License. The student must be 16 years of age and complete a Braiders application/fee llr.sc.gov on the LLR website along with the 6-hour course, the test is to be completed online.
