Hawaii Hospitality Management Apprentice Program
- Brand new program beginning late February 2019.
- Free 25-week Manager Certification program designed to help either elevate employees into management or to train those people who are already working in managerial positions but who could benefit from more training.
- Designed to work around a full-time work schedule so all classes are online.
- Available to employees state-wide since classes are online and testing can be done at testing centers on any island.
- Graduates will earn the ManageFirst Professional (MFP) credential. The ManageFirst Professional credential is a distinguished accolade endorsed by the National Restaurant Association.
- Unfortunately the grant funds don’t cover the expense of the textbooks for this program so either the employee or the employer will need to provide the textbooks for their participants.
Please share with your managers and cooks and have them contact Program Coordinator Marcus Fikse at marcusjt@hawaii.edu with questions or to enroll. There are spaces for 125 managers and 80 cooks to take part in the next round of the program and KCC expects to begin with full enrollment so reach out soon!
