Career That's Right For Them

POTTSVILLE, PA -
High school students now have help in exploring and selecting career
paths for which they are best suited, thanks to the new high school
student assistance program from Empire Education Group, the largest
provider of cosmetology education in North America. The new
program features a career exploration program called SOAR, along
with a scholarship program to help young, enthusiastic people enter
the cosmetology profession.
"SOAR" stands for Successful Occupational
Awareness Resource," explains Cathy Leonard, director of
Empire's High School Assistance Program. "We invested
nearly half a million dollars to design a program that will help
talented young people find the career that will make them happy and
fulfilled. We created it with input from secondary school
teachers and administrators from across the country. They
asked for participatory activities, such as field trips, lectures
and mentoring programs, to help high school students identify
potential career choices. It also helps individual students
pinpoint the career characteristics that match their
interests."
The SOAR program helps students explore careers in
fields that are professional, administrative/clerical, mechanical,
marketing/sales, technical, construction, agriculture and
service. "An Empire professional will provide and discuss
information, including students' likes and dislikes, as well as
which occupations are on the rise or decline. Next come
guidelines on how to get started on a career path in the chosen
field," explains Leonard. "At the end of the
program, all students are asked to complete a career survey card,
which is left with the teacher as a resource to further assist the
student."
The SOAR program also provides:
Field trips:
Students can visit an Empire campus to get a hands-on introduction
to the cosmetology business and related businesses. After a
tour of the campus, the students will participate in an open
discussion about careers in cosmetology and the many related
professional, artistic opportunities it provides.
Guest Lecturers:
Educators and business professionals provide technical information
on cosmetology and cosmetology-related careers.
Career education
resources: Designed to provide students with all
related career information, it also provides feedback to high school
counselors on the types of career students wish to pursue further.
Educational support
materials: By reviewing lesson plans and other
materials related to Empire's curriculum, students will gain an
understanding of what their day at Empire will be like once they
enroll.
Shadow and mentor programs:
Designed to provide first-hand and hands-on experience in those
career areas where Empire has expertise, high school students can
spend time with empire students to learn more about
cosmetology. Students will spend time in Empire's classrooms
and on Empire's clinic floors observing a salon atmosphere and the
artistic achievements demonstrated by Empire's students.
Occupational Outlook
Handbook: Students have the opportunity to review
the most recent copy of employment and career information from the
U.S. Labor Department.
Summer Camps:
High school juniors and younger students are invited to visit and
spend time at an Empire campus during the summer to observe the
cosmetology school experience.
Scholarship Program:
Empire will award 15 full-tuition scholarships and 20 half-tuition
scholarships this spring to graduating high school seniors.
Students interested in applying for one of the 35 scholarships must
complete a formal application. In addition, students must
provide a 250-word essay on one of the following topics:
-
The job market through the eyes of a high school
senior
-
Professionalism and loyalty in the working
world, past vs present
-
Characteristics of successful business people.
"The goal of our new high school program is to
help high school students decide what career is right for
them," says Leonard.
"After 70 years, our mission remains to prepare
the best entry level professionals to succeed," says Franklin
K. Schoeneman, CEO and president of Empire Education Group.
"In less than a year, a student can complete an Empire
program. Beauty careers offer the ability to help others look
and feel their best, job flexibility, earnings often reaching
$30,000 per year or more and the potential to become a business
owner quickly.
"Our graduates are trained to become
hairdressers, skin and nail care specialists, massage therapists and
managers in top salons and day spas," he adds.
"Because we provide career counseling and work closely with
local business owners, many of our students are placed in great jobs
prior to graduation."
If helping others look and feel their best sounds
like a great career, check out a cosmetology program at Empire
Education Group. Training beauty professionals for more than
70 years, Empire Education Group operates more than 30 campuses in
Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina and Pennsylvania and
is the largest provider of cosmetology education in North
America.
