Slide 15
KCC-Food Industry Partnership Food Safety, Manufacturing,
Production & Innovation For Hawaiis food industry to flourish,
it requires workers highly trained in both the principles of
culinary arts and food safety. Equally importantin a state that
imports over 85% of its food and is the most vulnerable state in
the nation in regards to its food security Hawaii needs to build a
food manufacturing industry that utilizes and supports
locally-grown ingredients. This requires a workforce that is
trained in food entrepreneurship, food innovation, state-of-the-art
food production technology, and HACCP food safety procedures. KCC
is working with CTAHR at UH Manoa to articulate its AS degree in
Institutional Food Service Management with a BS degree in
Culinology. To ensure that Oahu has the resources to develop and
grow a locally- sourced food manufacturing industry, it has plans
to expand the food innovation concept first piloted by UH Maui
College, and will do this through a cost-effective and integrated
shared resource/technology approach. Needed are both the
infrastructure (food innovation centers) and the curriculum for a
changing industry.
Slide 16
BAS in Hospitality Management KCC-Hospitality Industry
Partnership KCC s hospitality industry partners state that
operations and management is shifting from a focus on traditional
customer service to one of asset management, as a result of new
types of owners and guestsfractional ownership, timeshares, and
second homes. Thus, a new kind of hospitality management and
leadership training is needed, both for incumbent workers and new
students. In response, KCC submitted an Authorization Plan with
West Oahu College that would create a 3 rd year Advanced
Professional Certificate and a 4 th year Hospitality Management
Bachelor Degree.
Slide 17
What You Can Do! Create industry credentials for newly
identified occupations Provide salaries that make these positions
sustainable as a living wage Provide more professional development
opportunities in industry for college faculty and staff Standardize
preceptor training for industry personnel across programs
Participate on College Advisory Boards Make a one to three year
commitment of resources to support College programs Value
certificates and degrees from Community Colleges via hiring and
promotion decisions.
