I joined the Cosmetology program with JTED knowing nothing about the program or the industry. I was treated with kindness by administration in helping guide me through the process of applying and beginning the program. As a student, I was given many opportunities to practice my skill, on mannequins and real people. During this time I felt very supported by my educators and encouraged to learn and try new things. I walked out of the program confident in my ability to learn and grow in the industry.
Post graduation, I was hired on as an assistant/apprentice by a salon that honed my hair skills. I have now been at this same high end salon for 6 years and have taken on a part of the education of the apprenticeship program.”
