Pt V, Line 33INTERNATIONAL SKILLS INC. HAS REVISED ITS BYLAWS TO OPERATE NOT ONLY AS A FAITH BASED NONPROFIT CORPORATION OFFERING FAMILY COUNSELING SERVICES BUT TO ALSO FUNCTION AS A NONPROFIT SCHOOL. THE INTENT OF THE SCHOOL IS TO PROVIDE SOCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH BARBER SCHOOL EDUCATION AND TRAINING TO PROVIDE SKILLS FOR FUTURE EMPLOYMENT. BY OFFERING SUCH SERVICES WE ARE IN LINE WITH OUR MISSION OF STRENGTHENING FAMILIAL UNITS THROUGH SOCIAL ASSISTANCE AND FAITH BASED INITIATIVES. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF DIVORCE DECREASES WHEN THE HUSBAND IS GAINFUL EMPLOYED. IN ADDITION, EITHER SPOUSE'S MEASURED SATISFACTION WITHIN THEIR MARRIAGE IS ALSO HIGHER WHEN THE MAN IS EMPLOYED (NATIONAL CENTER FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY INFORMATION - HTTP://WWW.NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV/PMC/ARTICLES/PMC3347912). THE AVERAGE SALARY OF A LICENSED BARBER/COSMETOLOGIST IN THE STATE OF TEXAS IS $46,000 (HTTP://WWW.INDEED.COM/SALARY ). EMPLOYMENT OF BARBERS, HAIRDRESSERS AND COSMETOLOGISTS IS PROJECTED TO GROW 13% FROM 2012 TO 2022, ABOUT AS FAST AS THE AVERAGE FOR ALL OCCUPATIONS (HTTP://WWW.BLS.GOV/OOH/PERSONAL-CARE-AND-SERVICE/BARBERS-HAIRDRESSERS-AND-COSMETOLOGISTS.HTM ). THE SCHOOL IS BASED IN AND SERVICES INDIVIDUALS IN HOUSTON, TX. THE CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED FUTURE DEMOGRAPHIC OF THE STUDENT BODY IS 45% AFRICAN AMERICAN, 35% HISPANIC, 15% WHITE AND 5% OTHER. THERE'S CURRENTLY ONE INSTRUCTOR, EROS SHAW. THE DEMOGRAPHIC OF ANY ADDITIONAL STAFF AND INSTRUCTORS IS ANTICIPATED TO MIRROR THAT OF THE STUDENT BODY. THE SCHOOL AS WELL AS FAMILY COUNSELING SERVICES WILL BE AND IS FUNDED BY RECEIPTS FROM SCHOOL ADMISSIONS AND DONATIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ALLOCATION OF CURRENT AND FUTURE TIME IS DETAILED AS SHOWN BELOW. ALL ACTIVITIES ARE CONDUCTED BY INTERNATIONAL SKILLS EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS. 75% - BARBER SCHOOL TRAINING INCLUDING FACILITATION OF COURSES AND INSTRUCTOR TRAINING15% - FAMILY FAITH BASED, SPIRITUAL COUNSELING10% - ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIVITIES CURRENT AND FUTURE INITIATIVES (2014-2016) INCLUDE EXPANSION OF BARBER SCHOOL TRAINING TO INCLUDE ESTHETICIAN COURSES. IN ADDITION, INTERNATIONAL SKILLS HAS PLANS TO APPLY FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOL ACCREDITATION WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDING TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO AN EXPANDED DEMOGRAPHIC OF UNDERSERVED INDIVIDUALS. THIS FURTHERS OUR MISSION AND ASSISTS US IN EXPANDING OUR REACH.
