Pontotoc Technology Center is proud to announce the launch of its new evening Barber program, a unique opportunity for aspiring barbers to gain the skills and certification needed to enter a thriving industry. Designed with flexibility in mind, this program caters to working adults and those with busy schedules, offering evening classes to help students achieve their career goals.
The program will provide hands-on training with an expert instructor, preparing students to pass the state board licensure exam and succeed in a growing profession. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics employment in barbering is projected to grow by 8% from 2022 to 2032. This may be a great time to launch a career in this high-demand field.
The new Barber program is scheduled to begin on January 28th and run through June 30th, 2026. Students can expect to complete their education and begin working in under 18 months. Graduates of the program will be fully prepared to enjoy a rewarding career in this essential and creative industry.

A representative from Pontotoc Technology Center will contact all potential applicants the first week of January with information about next steps.
