Add barbering to the vocational schools curriculum in Maryland
Add barbering to the curriculum for the state of Maryland public vocational schools.
Why is this important?
I have young male customers intersted in learning the barber trade and they often ask me how they can get started in the industry.Well they offer cosmetology to students here in Anne Arundel County but not barbering. We support and have employeed young girls from the program over the years. However, my concern is for the young men who want to be barbers. They have to wait to attend a barber school after high school whereas the girls have cosmetology training throughout high school and graduate high school as liscensed cosmotoligists. I think it is unfair and as a business owner could benefit from having a pool of young energetic barbers to choose from when necesarry.
