SALON INTERNSHIP
To allow students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience Inner State has a salon internship program. The internship is
available to students once they have completed 50% of the basic course. At that point they spend up to 10% of their course length
learning in a salon. Students earn school credit for the internship hours completed. Eligible students must be in good standing with
attendance and grades. The student may only work on services in the that they have been certificated, or tested out on, by the school.
The attendance percentage of 67% and required gpa of 75% will continue to apply during the internship.
