The Butte College Cosmetology program is a 1680 hour course of study designed to meet the State of California Cosmetology Act. Butte offers the hours of study in a seven - module sequence of courses, each module six weeks in duration. By meeting required academic and attendance standards, each six-week module will result in 5 semester units of college credit.
This is a new Butte College Instructional Program supported by a Dean and Butte College faculty. The learning outcomes will be evaluated on a cylce in accordance with the Butte College schedule.
The Cosmetology program at Butte will focus on completion and academic achievement by offering a 42 week program intended to prepare students to successfully pass the State Board of Cosmetology licensing exam to become a certified Cosmetologist. The program will offer the student a 35 unit Certificate of Achievement. A student can also pursue an AS degree. The program will be offered in a traditional format in accordance with most other programs at Butte offering students, faculty and staff opportunities for success and professional development. Data will inform that the student learning outcomes are being met and changes will be based on the results and resources will be allocated to ensure this. The program is off campus so it is critical maximum resources are offered to allow students to reach their goals. Students at outlying centers must be offered equal services to students on the main campus.
The new program will adhere to the program review schedule for all programs.
The goal for the 2018-19 academic year for the Cosmetology program is to offer the 42 week 1680 hour program in the new facility. It is to mainain full enrollment and offer client services. The goal is to hire a Manager along with 2 fulltime instructors and instructional lab aides. The goal is to offer a high quality educational CTE program that qualifies students to pass their State Board exam to be a certified Cosmetologist.
Strategy 1 - Hire Two fulltime Instructors and part time faculty pool
The college is in the process of hiring the faculty to teach in the discipline and lead the department. The positions are funded from both the district and Strong Workforce funding.
The program will require fulltime leadership in order to offer the courses and sustain the program.
The prgram will need a pool of Associate faculty to cover should a fulltimer be out in order to maintain ratios and teacher of record/ line of sight.
Strategy 2 - Hire Instructional lab aids
The enrollment in the program will exceed the required state ratios of teacher to student with two fulltimers. The program will need to hire aides to assit on the lab floor when students are in lab which is approximately 7 hours a day.
To ensure quality education lab aides must assit in the lab. An instructor can not adequately teach potentially 48 students at one time who are at 6 different levels.
Strategy 3 - Approval from State Board of Cosmetology and Barberbing
The college must apply to the Board for approval to offer the program and secure the facility in order to open..
This is a State requirement and the college must adhere to it.
Strategy 4 - security cameras and ongoing maintenance
The location ( off site) requires security cameras to ensure the safety of the faculty, students and stafff. The location is not in a great location and should be protected with securtiy cameras. Campus security is not stationed at the location. Campus police support this request. In addition staff sould be able to see students in all areas of the facility at all times to ensure safety of students, staff and equipment.
Safety is and should remain the number one priority for the college.
Strategy 5 - student assistant funding
A student assistant needs to be hired to work the front counter, to sell prodcut and check in clients.
The Manager will not be able to sit at the counter all day as they will have a number of other tasks to do through out the day. The program will not have a department secretary.
Strategy 6 - secure swf funding or district funds to ensure operating money for program
The program wil need a budget to not only start up but sustain operations and for future growth.
The program will need resoures to operate.
Strategy 7 - Offer manicuring and esthetician programs
It will be important to ensure adequate resources are given to the program when the times comes to offer separate esthetician, manicuring and barbering programs. This will include equipment, supplies and faculty.
A full cosmetolgy and barbering school offers all these programs. To start the decision was made to just offer cosmetology but the goal is to offer a complete program that includes esthetician, barbering and manicuring.
2018/19 Strong Workforce Funding is being used towards getting the program up and running. SWF funds are supporting operating and marketing expenses and 1 fulltime instructor. The district is supportung facility mofiifications, IT equipment, lease, 1 fulltime faculty and Manager expenses.
We are hoping SWF funds can support Instructional aides to assist in the lab.
