Board approves a new cosmetology career program at Enterprise’s career center

What happened

The board approved a construction bid for a new cosmetology training space, planned to open in January 2027. The program will partner with Enterprise State Community College, which will provide the instructor for dual-enrollment courses.

Why it matters to families

Students will gain a new local career-training option that can lead to short-term certificates and college credentials, rather than having to rely solely on training elsewhere.

The evidence

At the July 14, 2026 meeting, the board approved JNB Services’ bid for the cosmetology project. Officials said the work was targeted for completion by December 2026, with the space opening in January 2027; the district will provide the facility and equipment, and Enterprise State Community College will provide the instructor. The transcript refers to the site as being behind ECTC and says students can pursue short certificates and associate-level credentials through the partnership.
