Emphasis is placed on safety orientation throughout the program.
 
Cosmetology: Students will learn about ethics and business practices, while also engaging in hands-on learning experiences within our cosmetology lab. We will provide our students with information on business management and growth opportunities, and will provide them with the education and skills necessary to explore becoming a business owner in the cosmetology field. The students will explore topics such as hair, make-up, nails, skin care, human anatomy, hygiene, and sanitation. 
 
Music Production and Audiovisual Technology: This program is designed to expand student access to industry-aligned instruction and post-secondary opportunities in a rapidly growing and in-demand field. Music Production trains students in songwriting, electronic music, and core engineering skills. Audiovisual Technology builds on this foundation with a wider technical focus, preparing students for entry-level AV roles.
