Strengthening Collaboration Between ROC and KCC for Restaurant Worker Pathways

For nearly a decade, ROC and KCC have partnered on various projects, bolstered by a new grant from the Ford Foundation. This funding aims to enhance our collaboration by establishing college pathways for restaurant workers in multiple cities including Detroit and possibly Miami or Chicago. Key initiatives include articulating courses, conducting joint internships, and developing a nationally validated curriculum while enhancing career opportunities for students. The ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive credit certificate program and connect students with high-road employers.

Presentation Transcript

  1. ROC/KCC Collaboration ROC and KCC have been working together for nearly 10 years on various projects, dependent on funding. We seem to have found our groove and now have a small grant from the Ford foundation to: • Sure up our collaboration. • Bring college pathways for restaurant workers to the other ROC cities, starting with Detroit and one other city. Maybe Miami, Houston, Philly, DC, LA, NO, Chicago?

  2. Part I: Firming Up the Collaboration • Articulation of CHOW 101 and 102 to KCC TAH/CA. • Colors and High Road Employer Internships • KCC Classes @ Colors taught by CHOW faculty • CHOW Faculty at KCC • Recruitment both ways • Career ladder draft

  3. Part II: Replicating Project Nationally • Establishment of CHOW/College Agreements in each ROC city. • Nationally validated curriculum (employer and educator review). • Refinement/adoption of career ladder • Internship program at High Road Employers nationally • Tech assistance for high road employers (research) • Big goal—pilot offering entire credit certificate program at Colors in NY

  4. Why Do This? What’s in it for KCC? • Connect our current students to high road employers, ROC’s benefits (health care) and ongoing advocacy and support (life after KCC) • Recruiting ROC members to improve (not really increase) enrollment at KCC • Real estate! • Improve the industry we love
