VII. TARGET POPULATION

In addition, area long-term care facilities expressed a need for entry-level cooks who could continue career tracks to chefs. This 700-hour culinary curriculum was designed based on the topics and certification requirements for the ServSafe®program and the Manage First®program. Also included are general core topics including workplace professionalism and computer applications.

XI. TRAINING PATHWAYS
A. Before: A career pathway system is a series of connected educational and training programs and support services that prepare and enable individuals, often while they are working, to secure a job and advance over time to successively higher levels of education and employment in a specific industry/field. Pathway goals are to increase access, awareness, affordability, resources, and alignment for high school students, adult learners, and the current workforce (Thrive, 2009).
designed for learners with little to novice experience in the food service industry, those who already work in the field and wish to enhance their skills, or those who simply wish to enter culinary career pathway.
Prior to admission, potential learners must have the following: High school diploma or GED
Basic computer literacy including basic keyboarding skills Completed application form with a $50 deposit
Skills Assessment (TABE and Washington 13) Interview with program coordinator
BEST test if English is a second language One professional and one personal reference FBI and BCI background check
Make a non-refundable deposit of $200
B. After: University System of Ohio CT2 for Early Childhood will be pursued as soon as CT2 track is available. Articulation agreements with higher institutions such as Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) and North Central State College (NCSC), and Columbus State Community College (CSCC) will be pursued.
C. Student’s Transition into Workplace: In addition students will participate in mock interviews and receive a career passport. Our Placement Office will assist students with resume writing as requested. The 120-hour internship component of the program should give food service facilities and our students an opportunity to explore employment opportunities. Should an employer find a student weak in a specific skill taught in the program, the student will be able to audit a future class for that specific topic until the skill is satisfactory.
