Students & Scholarships

GREAT TOGETHER

We couldn't call ourselves GREAT without the schools that develop great cosmetologists or barbers and grow the industry. GCAZ is proud to partner with schools to shape and change lives in the cosmetology industry. GCAZ loves to connect with schools to offer high-quality technical and career-oriented presentations, which include skill-building, best-practice videos, guides and live demos.

Internship Program

The purpose of the GCAZ Internship Program is to provide students in the hair industry opportunities for learning outside of their academic setting.

As an intern you will have the opportunity to practice skills you have learned while in school while enhancing those skills, obtain the perspective of a salon work environment, and benefit from a mentor’s experience and advice.  It is our goal to help prepare candidates for their futures in the beauty industry!
