Visalia, CA – On Wednesday, May 20, 2009 from 10am to 11am, Milan Institute of Cosmetology, a vocational school located in Visalia, CA, will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate its one-year anniversary. The school will host a continental breakfast in celebration of the event. Visalia Chamber of Commerce members will perform the ribbon cutting. The event is open to the public.
Gary Yasuda, President of Milan Institute of Cosmetology, will also attend the ribbon cutting ceremony. “Our school has been well received by the local community,” states Gary Yasuda. “Cosmetology is one of the hottest industries right now, and the San Joaquin Valley was in need of more schools that could provide professional career training for it. Milan has already experienced success here, and we are excited to see what the future will bring.”
The school first opened its doors to the community in January 2008. Since then, 158 students have enrolled and 18 have graduated. As more and more students join Milan Institute of Cosmetology, the school begins to plan for expansion. The addition of new classrooms is scheduled for August or September of this year, and extension of the student salon floor is anticipated to take place in October or November.
Currently, the school offers an accredited Cosmetology program. Both day and evening class schedules are offered, and financial aid is available to those who qualify. Milan’s faculty offers academic credentials with years of training or work experience in their areas of specialization. The school’s administrative staff is committed to providing the individual student attention necessary to achieve success in the cosmetology field. In addition, the school provides career services assistance to all of its graduates to assist them with their new job search.
The school also has a student salon where value-priced beauty services are performed under instruction supervision. In April of 2008, the first class of cosmetology students began servicing clients.
