Ms. Cowen is always eager to provide
on-the-job training for students from our
Cosmetology program. This is a wonderful
opportunity for KCC students to work side
by side with a wonderful and popular hair
designer. Ms. Cowen is someone who values
education very highly and understands
that a combination of education
and practical experience will take a person
far in life. She is a fine business owner
and also a wonderful, patient educator.
She allows the students to have many different
experiences. She is involved with
make-up and hair design with
models at local photo shoots
and gives the students the
chance to see that part of the
hair design business in addition
to the salon side. She
imparts knowledge of a wide
variety of opportunities within
the field of cosmetology.
Ms. Cowen gives the students
her time and the benefit
of her expertise while at the
same time encouraging them
to do well in high school and to
pursue post-secondary education.
She makes it very clear to
them that a combination of
education and real world experience
is important in any
career field.
Ms. Cowen has taken on two OJT students
within the same semester several
times in her hair design business. It is not
easy for a business owner to take care of
their business and take on one intern,
much less two, but Ms. Cowen puts in the
time and the effort to do this for our OJT
students.
We owe Jeneva Cowen a huge debt of
gratitude for her efforts on the part of our
students at the King Career Center and
wish to not only thank her, but to recognize
her as an outstanding School
Business Partner in Best Practices. |
 Brad Snodgrass, Principal
The partnership between
the King Career Center and The Artistic Team
shows what can be accomplished when
a business owner cares deeply about
helping students who are enthusiastic
about a possible future career field. Ms.
Cowen is a rare combination of education
and practical experience who is not only a
great business owner but a great teacher
as well. We are indebted to her for the
valuable time that she gives to our
students."
Dean Vogt, OJT Coordinator
"We are very lucky to
have such a wonderful business partner who is willing
to
give so much of her time to the students.
We have had many students go on to
successful careers largely in part to the
efforts of Ms. Cowen. We can never thank
her enough."
Kristine Green, OJT
student
"I was very lucky to have Ms. Cowen as
my mentor in the field of cosmetology. She
has given me the courage to push myself
to new levels and shown me different
career opportunities. She is always pushing
herself to be the best she can be and
being around her made me want to excel."
