ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMS

Helping youths learn different skills and jobs prepares them for independence, confidence, and long-term success. By providing opportunities for hands-on learning, career training, and real-world experiences, youths can discover their talents and explore a wide range of career paths. Exposure to various skills—from technical trades to creative and professional roles—helps them build responsibility, problem-solving abilities, and a strong work ethic. With the right support, mentorship, and guidance, youths are empowered to make informed decisions about their future and become positive contributors to their communities.

LASH TECHNICIAN PROGRAM

Enrolling kids and youths in lash technician certification training gives them an early, age-appropriate introduction to entrepreneurship, creativity, and real-world skills in the beauty industry. Through guided, safe, and supervised learning—with parental involvement—students can build confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic while exploring a potential career path. This type of training encourages independence, goal-setting, and financial literacy, helping young people understand what it means to turn a skill into a business. By learning early, they gain the foundation to one day become their own boss, make positive choices for their future, and develop pride in their abilities.
