The classroom—or in this case, the Cos lab—is just the beginning! 🎓🏃♀️➡️⏩💅💇
Vance-Granville Community College’s Franklin Campus recently hosted a mini career fair for our Cosmetology students, giving them a chance to connect with local employers and explore real career pathways. One of our featured vendors was VGCC graduate Areli Rayo, now the proud owner of Rayo Studio in Louisburg. We love seeing our alumni come full circle and inspire the next generation of stylists!
