skills and aptitudes required for jobs they need or will
need.

KCC-Food Industry Partnership

Food Safety, Manufacturing, Production & Innovation
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.
KCC-Hospitality Industry Partnership
 BAS in Hospitality Management
 KCCʻs 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
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.
