According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, job <br />opportunities for cosmetologists are favorable due to the growing demand for these types <br />of services. The overall employment of personal appearance workers is projected to <br />grow for all occupations through 2010 because of increasing population, incomes, and <br />demand for cosmetology services. Opportunities will be better for those licensed to <br />provide a broad range of services. In the cosmetology program, students will study hair, <br />skin, and/or nails and their related care. Students will study and prepare in a clinical lab <br />setting, using mannequins and live models for manipulative skill practice. The program <br />will emphasize safety and sanitation, communication, and management skills. The <br />competency completions will prepare the students for the Virginia Board of Cosmetology <br />licensing exam. <br /> <br />Out-of-School Youth Program: Piedmont Community Services (PCS) will designate one <br />full-time person to provide clinical case management to youth and their families. PCS <br />will provide counseling/residential services and prevention services. The primary goals <br />of the services provided will focus on high school completion, student achievement and <br />citizenship, and a safe and drug-flee community. <br /> <br />The Reality Store: This is a model program used to assist young people in making good <br />choices for their future. This program also assists them in finding out what life is like as <br />an adult, how much it costs to live the way they want to live, and information on different <br />jobs and likely salaries. This activity will be used as both a career readiness strategy and <br />pregnancy prevention strategy. <br /> <br /> <br />
