About this episode

The episode discusses the flaws in the new regulations for career education, particularly in the cosmetology sector, as highlighted by industry experts.

Last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act set into law a new framework for holding higher education responsible for graduates’ earnings. While the framework is set to roll out soon, today’s guests say the guidelines are a flawed “one size fits all” approach that’s too broad for America’s cosmetology sector. Today’s guests are Brenda Scharman , owner of Cameo College of Essential Beauty; Lynelle Lynch , CEO and owner of Bellus Academy; and Ryan Claybaugh , Vice President of Operations for Paul Mitchell Advanced Education. They tell host Jason Altmire the proposed framework pits a workforce of young, high school graduates against workers with advanced postsecondary education and perpetuates gender inequities by comparing an industry with a large number of part-time workers and more than 90% women to wealthier, male-dominated fields.
