Haslam\u2019s Tennessee Reconnect Proposal"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[Cosmetology school owners from across the state have joined forces in an effort to be among the institutions included in Governor Bill Haslam\u2019s proposed Tennessee Reconnect program.\nAs proposed, Tennessee Reconnect would provide a tuition-free community college education to any adult in the state who doesn\u2019t already have an associate or bachelor\u2019s degree. The Tennessee Cosmetology School Owners Association (TCSOA) wants to ensure students can make the best possible choice for their education.\n\u201cThe need for skilled workers in the cosmetology industry is great right now,\u201d says Adam Brown, TCSOA chairman and owner of Tennessee School of Beauty. \u201cEmployment of cosmetology workers, including barbers, hairdressers, nail technicians and others, is projected to grow by 10 percent through 2024 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.\u201d\nAll student eligibility requirements for Tennessee Reconnect would be unchanged, including residency and FAFSA criteria. The TCSOA only wants to include their institutions among the eligible schools for the program.\n\"Tennessee has a great opportunity to attract hundreds of thousands of adults to higher education. Tennessee Reconnect will provide dividends to our economy for years to come. Imagine how much greater those dividends will be if more quality educational institutions are included in the program,\u201d Brown says.\nTo learn more about the Tennessee Cosmetology School Owners Association, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tnbeauty.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.tnbeauty.org<\/a>.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":652,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,46],"tags":[312,657,661,662],"class_list":["post-637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tcsoa","category-tennessee-cosmetology-school-owners-association","tag-governor-haslam","tag-tcsoa","tag-tennessee-cosmetology-school-owners-association","tag-tennessee-reconnect"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/TCSOA_avatar.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.z11communications.com\/envirolutionary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
