Employment Assistance and Job Placement
Jobs are available for anyone that desires work in the field of cosmetology. There is a list of salons and spas in need of employees posted on the bulletin board. Newspapers (local and out-of-town) have wanted ads available for career opportunities both here and in other cities. There will be networking opportunities such as job fairs, attending local events, and visiting local salons. Dalton Institute teaches all students professional skills including professionalism, resume development, interview preparation, and job search skills, and will work to assist all students in identifying and securing employment opportunities as they become available. Dalton Institute does not guarantee employment for any student but assists with professional guidelines and job referrals.
Student Advising Policy
Dalton Institute maintains an open-door policy between students and instructional and administrative staff members. Students may sign up to meet with administrative staff or with instructional staff at any time. Dalton Institute is always available to the student to provide advice on progress and positive suggestions for continued improvement. The staff at Dalton Institute understands that personal problems and stresses have a direct, negative effect on the performance of the individual and are things that must be dealt with to promote success in the lives of the potential professionals we are training. We feel that it is critical that assistance is provided to those individuals in need whether the problems encountered are marital, financial, psychological, or drug-alcohol dependency related. If a problem arises that our faculty feels they are unable to address, we will refer our students to a professional. Dalton Institute will not take financial responsibility for these services if they are needed. Dalton Institute staff members have been instructed that if a student should require, either by request or instructor observation, professional assistance, the following resources are available:
Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence: (404) 209-0280
National Sexual Assault Hotline: (800) 656-4673
Suicide Prevention Hotline: (800) 273-8255
Substance Abuse Hotline: (866) 233-1681
