HCTC expands Cosmetology Program to Jackson

Hazard Community and Technical College is expanding its Cosmetology Program to the Lees College Campus in Jackson. Beginning in the fall semester, students can enroll in cosmetology classes offered on the third floor of HCTC's Breathitt County Life Skills Center on Main Street.

The program will offer classes Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis with 20 slots available.

HCTC Interim President Dr. Juston Pate said there was a need for this program in the Jackson area to better serve Breathitt, Lee, Owsley, and Wolfe counties. It s exciting to see the plans for the facilities there. I know students and the community will benefit from the addition of the Cosmetology Program.

Classes will be taught by Susan Johnson, a 25-year veteran in the field. A student can earn a certificate or diploma in cosmetology. An Associate of Applied Science degree in General Occupational and Technical Studies also can be earned through classes at the Lees College Campus.
