The proposed program was approved by the Board of Trustees at Stanly Community College on December 11, 2014. Minutes from this Board meeting were attached to the program application.
The President and the Board of Trustees of Stanly Community College have certified the following:
• The proposed program will enhance the workforce of North Carolina, will provide educational and training opportunities consistent with the mission of the college, and will not duplicate the opportunities currently offered.
• They have assessed the need for the proposed program and the resources required to maintain a viable program and certify that the college can operate the proposed program efficiently and effectively within the resources available to the college.
• The college will complete a program accountability report including student success measures, enrollment trends, completion rates, and employment data three years after implementation of the program.
II. Program Rationale
Stanly Community College indicates the following:
• The Culinary Arts program at Stanly Community College will be designed to provide pathways for start-up and operations of entrepreneurship services, such as catering. It will support the growing interest in the farm-to-table movement in the local community.
• Data from the NC Department of Commerce indicated an increase for Food Service Managers of 4.7% in the Centralina area. Additionally, an increase of 5% for chefs is predicted in the Centralina region.
• Chef salaries range from entry level of $16.29 per hour to experienced hourly wage of
$27.42. Annually, estimated entry level salaries start at $33,890 while experienced level start at $57,050. (NC Department of Commerce).
• Stanly County’s 2013Annual Employment Data indicate a consistent job market of 1,845 for the Accommodation and Food Services sector, which is the county’s fourth highest employment field.
• SCC conducted an employer interest survey of forty local food service companies.
Twenty-one employers responded. Eighty-six percent of the respondents indicated a need for a Culinary Arts Degree Program. Employer interest survey results also indicated an estimated 464 individuals would be employed by local employers over the next three years in the following positions: Food Preparation Workers, Food Servers, First-Line Supervisors, Cooks, and Bartenders.

• SCC conducted a student interest survey of 156 high school students enrolled in Stanly County Schools’ food science courses in the fall of 2014. Eighty-five percent indicated a need for the College to offer the Culinary Arts Degree Program. Forty-four percent indicated they would enroll in a CCP Culinary Arts pathway.
• The superintendent of Stanly County Schools provided a letter of support stating that the program will provide a seamless six year pathway for high school students interested in a food science career.
• The Stanly Community College Foundation provided a letter of support. In addition they have begun a capital campaign for the program and have raised $32,000 towards program start-up expenses.
• The Stanly County Chamber of Commerce provided a letter of support and stated that this program would support the need for qualified, well trained chefs and staff which is needed to support the growing interest in the farm-to table movement in the county.

• The Chair of the Stanly County Board of Commissioners provided a letter of support and stated the approval of the Culinary Arts Program will give the College another
opportunity to promote the local foods movement and provide Stanly County citizens with education and economic development opportunities.
