KVCC President L. Marshall Washington says the new school is another example of the college’s commitment to technical education and skills training.

“Skilled trades provide a viable alternative to traditional academic pathways, offering a practical and hands-on approach to learning that resonates with a wide range of learners,” Washington said.

The school will take its first class this fall, which will consist of 40 cosmetology students and 20 barbering students.
