  15. KCC-Food Industry Partnership • For Hawaii’s food industry to flourish, it requires workers highly trained in both the principles of culinary arts and food safety. • Equally important—in 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.   • Food Safety, Manufacturing, Production & Innovation

  16. KCC-Hospitality Industry Partnership • BAS in Hospitality Management • KCCʻs hospitality industry partners state that operations and management is shiftingfrom a focus on traditional customer service to one of “asset management,” as a result of new types of owners and guests—fractional 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 3rd year Advanced Professional Certificate and a 4th year Hospitality Management Bachelor Degree.

  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.
