(ix) Drug and Alcohol Policy Prevention
(x) Services for Individuals with Disabilities.
All facilities and programs have been designed for the accommodation of all our employees, students, and patrons. We do realize, however, that all needs may not be met for those who are disabled, including without limitation, those with intellectual disabilities. If there is an unmet need that we can remedy, please contact the lead instructor at his or her respective campus during regular business hours to discuss measures to make our facilities and services more accessible for all people. If a prospective or current student has a disability requiring an academic adjustment, he or she should notify his/her lead instructor, an Admissions Representative and/or a Student Services Representative. Upon receiving a request for an academic adjustment, Career Schools of Texas will require the student to provide documentation prepared by an appropriate professional, such as a medical doctor, psychologist, or other qualified diagnostician, which should include the following: (i) a diagnosis of the student’s current disability; (ii) supporting information, such as the date of diagnosis, how the diagnosis was reached, and the credentials of the diagnosing professional; (iii) information on how the student’s disability affects a major life activity; and (iv) information on how the disability affects the student’s academic performance. Career Schools of Texas may request additional information if necessary to determine what is an appropriate academic adjustment. Students are expected to engage in an interactive process with Career Schools of Texas to help determine the most appropriate and effective accommodation, including without limitation, suitable auxiliary aids. Accommodations will be determined on a case-by-case basis, based on the documentation, the student’s history and specific functional limitations.
Service animals are welcome in all Career Schools of Texas facilities. A “service animal” is defined any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.
(xi) Career and Placement Services Offered to Students during and after Enrollment.
Job Placement: The Student Services Department is willing to assist its graduates in finding suitable employment. However, Career Schools of Texas cannot and will not guarantee a job to any student. Job placement statistics are obtained by the Student Services Department through written responses provided by CST students who are close to completion of their program as well as post-graduation confirmation by phone. The primary type of employment obtained by CST barber program graduates are stylist positions at barber shops and salons and by HVAC-R Technician program graduates are installers and maintenance technician jobs.
Student Counseling: Counseling services are made available to students approaching completion. Elements of this counseling include: tips on interviewing, writing a résumé, and professional appearance.
Continuous Listing of Job Opportunities: Job leads will be documented by the Student Services Representatives and will be made available for review in their office during normal business hours for all students approaching graduation. Additionally, these leads may be posted in the senior theory classroom and/or break room.
Placement Rate: The job placement rate as reported to CST’s accreditor, The Council on Occupational Education (COE), for 2022-2023 was 78%. The numerator for CST’s placement rate calculation is the total number of licensed CST graduates who are employed in an occupation related to the field of barbering. The denominator used to calculate the placement rate is the total number of licensed CST graduates, but excludes graduate completers waiting to take the licensure exam, graduate completers unavailable for employment, and graduate completers who refused employment.
