Dallas County Community College District is now Dallas College, and we are still striving to achieve our mission, “to transform lives and communities through higher education.“ In this new organizational structure, we have realigned how we work with industry partners for the betterment of our students.
Career Connecting Learning is what takes place when we build a continuum for our students to thrive at every point along their journey. Workforce Education interacts with students, incumbent workers, the community, and the School of Business, Hospitality and Global Trade to provide opportunities across TRUE Pathways that lead to sustainable careers. This is the important and life changing work we have to do so our alumni can achieve a prosperous life for themselves and their families for generations to come. Your support drives workforce and economic development through programs, services, and relationships that align with identified needs of business, industry, and community.
The Career Connected Learning Culinary, Pastry, & Hospitality (CPH) program expands the work of our academics by connecting our students to the culinary, pastry, and hospitality industries. Our new college structure will be able to provide occupational, technological, and people skills that will enable our students to compete successfully in the global market. With these new opportunities, our goal is to scale and expand the culinary program and your support will assist us by:
- increasing student and faculty participation in professional training opportunities.
- filling the industry work gap by connecting students to professionals.
- providing opportunities for students to engage with industry leaders.
- organizing direct access to prospects for the industry workforce.
- creating a familiarity of your organization with our students, faculty, staff, and patrons.
- helping students to acquire certifications
- supporting a sustainable food program with enhanced learning and labs.
