To provide practical application of skills for students already employed in distributive technology careers and for students working toward employment in distributive technology careers. 3. To help students understand the true essence of distributive technology careers through career exploration and cooperative work experience. 4. To develop the qualities of entrepreneurship. 5. To help prepare students for entrance and successful employment in entry-level and first line supervisory positions in the areas of cosmetology, fashion merchandising, interior design technology, sales, retailing, transportation, and general warehousing. Education The program outlines, included in the following program descriptions are designed to build job skills in an orderly manner so that completion of each quarter and year prepares individuals for successively higher employment levels in the occupational field. Employment Outlook Excellent employment opportunities exist in each of the listed specialty areas of training. The local growth rate of distributive job opportunities has been above average for the past several years and is projected to continue at increasingly higher growth rates. The job placement rate for students in career related positions is extremely high. Specific job titles are listed at the heading of each specialty program. 227 Cosmetology Program: Distributive Technology Minor General Requirements: Grade of C or better in the approved Distributive Technology courses.
