“Massage therapy is an increasingly important position in the explosive health and wellness field, and the need for qualified massage therapists has risen drastically,” according to materials provided by the Hand & Stone Franchise Corporation. “With the Southwestern Community College and Hand & Stone partnership, we can help graduates get started right away.”

Students who are chosen for employment will have access to benefits such as:

  • No hassling with sales, linens or supplies; everything is provided so you can focus on client time
  • Flexible schedules with hours available seven days a week
  • Bonuses, commissions and incentive programs for continuing education
  • Tuition reimbursement

“We’re really excited to offer this opportunity to our students,” said Instructor Jennifer Burgess. “This will help get them employed right after they graduate, and they can make excellent money in a company with great benefits and room for growth.”
