Read the following Expectations for Your Work Experience. Go to the Cosmetology 30 Moodle course and complete the quiz called Expectations for Your Work Experience.

** Expectations for Your Work Experience **

Being able to complete Cosmetology 30 through distance learning requires that you have a work experience placement. It is important to remember that your work experience supervisor is volunteering his or her time for you to be successful in this course. It is for that reason that we need to be clear about what your expectations are while you are at your work experience as well as what you can and cannot expect from your supervisor.


 * What is expected of you?**
 * You are responsible for your own transportation to your work experience.
 * Show up on time.
 * If you are going to be late or absent from your work experience you will need to let both your work experience supervisor and myself know beforehand.
 * Bring your Cosmetology kit
 * Bring a laptop or something to watch your instructional DVD’s on when needed.
 * Work independently on assignments to be completed on the mannequin.
 * Be friendly and polite to all employees and customers at all times
 * Complete your weekly work experience log.
 * You will need to follow the correct dress code for your salon.
 * You will be given specific tasks that you must complete as part of the required units in this course: hair cutting, scalp massage, nail art, hair coloring application, and salon management.
 * Your work experience supervisor is there to assist you if you need help but you need to be an independent learner and not be a burden on your supervisor. If you are having trouble understanding the task that you need to complete you need to make sure that you have watched the video (again as necessary) and re-read the instructions, asked Mrs. Biem first if it is a question where you do not understand the whole assignment. Once you have gone through that procedure and you are having small questions such as, “what do I do if I can't find my guideline during a haircut?” you can ask your supervisor only if they are not busy with another client. If they are busy you should wait until they have time to assist you and complete other tasks in the meantime such as folding towels, observing the services given to the clients in the salon, answering telephones, etc.
 * If you are continually tardy, absent without a pre-phone call, rude, or not following the salon dress code or rules and regulations you may be pulled from this course. Without the work experience placement this course would not be possible so it is up to you to make sure that you are an ambassador for your school and this program throughout your time in this course.


 * Consequences for not following what is expected of you:**


 * On the first absence without phoning the work experience supervisor prior to being absent, you will receive a warning and on the second incident you will be removed from your work experience and as a result your Cosmetology 30 class. Whereas the attendance policy in your school may be more lenient this is a necessity with work placement in the community.
 * If for any reason the work experience supervisor is not comfortable with your work ethic, attitude, dress, inability to work independently, etc. you may be removed from the work experience and as such the class. In extreme circumstances feasibility of another placement may be looked into.


 * What is expected of your work experience:**


 * Provision of a safe work environment.
 * Providing feedback on required mannequin assignments.
 * Allowing the student to observe services provided in the salon.
 * Answer questions as time permits.
 * Letting Mrs. Biem or other designate know when the student has been absent without a prior phone call.
 * Letting Mrs. Biem know of any questions or concerns that they may have throughout the work experience placement.


 * What is not expected of your work experience:**


 * To give you free hair services.
 * To provide you with product for your assignments (you should have the supplies needed in your kit).
 * To leave their clients to assist you.
 * The students will not be working on clients. The students may assist handing rollers, perm papers, or getting the clients coffee.

 * What you should do prior to going to work experience:**
 * Complete the following assignments:
 * Saskatchewan Labour Standards
 * Dress for Success
 * Career Awareness
 * Pre-Work Experience Quiz
 * Set up the times that you will be going to your Work Experience. This should be discussed with your support person at your school so that you have the required hours in the salon per week that fit with your school schedule.
 * Set up a time to go to your work experience to introduce yourself and answer any questions your work experience supervisor might have. This will also be the time that you can ask them what their dress code is as well as any other policies and procedures they have in their salon.
