A:
Transferring a cosmetology degree from overseas involves several key steps. First, your brother should have his credentials evaluated by a recognized agency to ensure they meet U.S. standards. This evaluation is essential for understanding how his qualifications compare to those required in the United States.
Next, he will need to obtain a cosmetology license in the state where he plans to work. Each state has its own licensing board with specific requirements, which may include additional coursework or exams. It's important to check the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology for detailed information.
Regarding contracts and internships, many salons and beauty schools offer opportunities for international professionals. He can reach out to local establishments in Sunnyvale or nearby areas to inquire about available positions. Networking through industry events or professional associations can also open doors to internships and employment opportunities, helping him integrate into the U.S. cosmetology industry.
