MOLINE, Ill. - Midwest Technical Institute's School of Cosmetology in Moline is offering assistance to all students impacted by last Tuesday's announcement that the Paul Mitchell Cosmetology School will close its Davenport, Iowa campus later this month.
The school will cease all operations April 25, according to several Davenport-area media outlets, a decision that is said to be attributed to low enrollment numbers at the school's Davenport campus.
MTI admissions representatives are available to field phone calls and other inquiries from former Paul Mitchell students interesting in continuing their education as a member of the MTI family.
Mary Link, school director of the School of Cosmetology, believes MTI is uniquely positioned to help former Paul Mitchell students continue their path toward a lifelong, fulfilling career.
"We can help these students by offering the education they need to obtain their license," explains Link, who also feels the school's knowledgeable faculty and flexible class schedules are an important part of what MTI has to offer.
"With smaller class sizes at MTI, we can be sure to offer students the needed attention from licensed instructors," Link adds.
MTI's School of Cosmetology offers a 1500 and 2100 hour program to provide students the hands-on training necessary to enter the workforce - job placement and financial aid opportunities are also available to qualifying students.
In addition, the MTI School of Cosmetology also houses MTI's Student Salon wherein students gain the real-world, salon experience required to secure entry-level employment in the cosmetology field and mature into industry-leading professionals.
