Rio Grooming School is dedicated to helping students find quality jobs in the pet care industry. We focus on building the skills, professionalism, and confidence employers look for, and on helping you take a clear next step toward your grooming career.
A grooming education opens the door to many kinds of pet care workplaces. Our role is to help you build practical grooming skills, understand your career options, and prepare for the next step after training.
Since our founding in 2009, helping students find quality jobs has been one of our guiding priorities. Talk with our admissions team about what career support currently looks like and how graduates typically find their first grooming roles.
Skilled groomers are needed across the pet care industry. These are some of the environments where Rio graduates can put their training to work.
Here is how we help students prepare for opportunities after training.
Develop grooming, handling, sanitation, tool, and client-readiness skills through hands-on education.
Learn how grooming skills may fit salons, mobile grooming, pet resorts, vet clinics, and other settings.
Build communication, reliability, and professionalism that matter when talking with employers or clients.
We help students explore openings, referrals, and job-search resources as they finish training.
We do not guarantee a job, but career placement assistance is part of what we do. Since 2009, providing resources to help students find quality jobs has been one of our core commitments.
Grooming skills are useful in many settings, including grooming salons, mobile grooming, veterinary clinics, salon management, boarding kennels and resorts, professional bathing, pet shops, animal shelters, pet training, pet supply stores, and work as a show dog assistant.
Ask what our career support includes, whether we know of current employer needs, and how recent graduates approached their first grooming role.
Ask about current career support, training expectations, and how students prepare for opportunities after school.
