We Are HFC

n my role as Henry Ford College’s (HFC) Dean, School of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Professional Development, I am fortunate to work on projects that inspire creativity, inspiration, and thought. The creation of the 5101 Magazine was a labor of love, and we are excited for you to learn more about our Culinary Arts + Hospitality Management degree and certificate programs, faculty and staff, and how you can apply for admission and register for classes or, if you are an employer, how you can partner with Henry Ford College. We understand prospective students research numerous colleges and universities to determine which college will be the right fit academically and socially. Choosing a college is driven by a number of factors, such as academics and geography. The proximity of the academic institution to home, educational environment, size of the college, type of college or university (public vs. private, research vs. teaching and learning) and cost (in-district vs. out-of-district and in-state vs. out-of-state). Admittedly I am biased, but here are the reasons I believe Henry Ford College is the first choice, best choice, and the only choice in Southeast Michigan.

If you are an employer, industry trade association, or labor union, navigating these difficult trends on a small or large scale, Henry Ford College may be the missing resource you’ve been desiring.

At Henry Ford College, our Workforce and Professional Development department provides comprehensive career and technical training programs designed to support the enhancement of both new and incumbent workers for business and industry. Our customized, person-centered training encompasses culinary arts, hospitality management, professional skill development, career enhancement and other areas as determined by business and industry. Additionally, our programs and services address the needs of individuals seeking personal growth and enrichment in our community. If you are hiring new employees, retraining incumbent workers, or exploring apprenticeship as a workforce solution, Henry Ford College Workforce and Professional Development staff are uniquely qualified to address your need for a highly skilled workforce. Our wide range of program services and business incentive programs include:

As a truly community-focused college, Henry Ford College welcomes students from our city (Dearborn), our state (Michigan), and all over the world. Henry Ford provides a pathway to your future, whether that means a workforce or technical education program, certificate, or a full-fledged degree program. If you want a second career or a stackable credential, we’ll help you earn that, too.

We want to be your educational partner! The first step to becoming who you want to be or solving your workforce needs is to contact me at 313-317-6603 or by email at pchatman@hfcc.edu to schedule a meeting to discuss your specific needs.

Of all the industry sectors experiencing significant shortfalls in skilled talent the concerns about culinary arts and hospitality have received little attention. A New York Times article by Julie Moskin described the concerns best, stating, “there aren’t enough I look forward to learning, working, and growing together! cooks.” According to Moskin (2015), “Openings for junior jobs like prep cook and line cook were taking longer to fill, and the appli- Sincerely, cants had weaker skills. Cooks with just one or two years of experience were applying for jobs better suited to 10-year veterans. Stagiaires, aspiring cooks who once begged for unpaid internships, were leaving after a day of work, or not showing up at all.” Dean School of Business, Entrepreneurship What’s to blame? Who’s to blame? We’ll let the industry experts and Professional Development debate that topic. What is certain is that America’s interest in food has heightened all of this.

Better still, what are the top 10 culinary schools in Southeast Michigan, and how do I determine which one is the best for me?

ERIC GACKENBACH, MBA, CEC, CHE Faculty Chair, FT Faculty - Hospitality AAS, Schoolcraft College, BSBA, Central Michigan University, MBA, Wayne State University, Certified Executive Chef from the American Culinary Federation, Certified Hospitality Educator from the American Hotel & Lodging Association.

Chef Gackenbach came to Henry Ford College in 2004 after 20 years of industry experience in restaurants, hotels, non-commercial food service and as an executive with a global food and services provider headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD, and Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. Early experience with breakfast and short order cooking and in fine dining establishments in Plymouth and Detroit, Michigan lead to Culinary school, a university degree in Hospitality Services Administration and then into the industry with Hyatt Hotels as Chef de Cuisine for Palladio restaurant in Rochester, New York. Summers in Germany while attending university were an opportunity to travel around Europe and experience wine in France, beer in Germany, and food and culture everywhere. In New York, the 350-room Hyatt hotel was brand new and provided Chef Gackenbach with the opportunity to develop into a fine dining restaurant manager, corporate trainer, and innkeeper. Returning to Detroit, Chef Gackenbach worked as Executive Chef for Marriott Management Services (MMS) in the Health Care division. At the time of the MMS merger and in conjunction with completing the degree of Master of Business Administration, Gackenbach was promoted to a corporate manager for purchasing and distribution for Sodexo USA, located in Dearborn, Michigan at Ford Motor Company. The job of negotiating and managing supplier contracts, financial analysis, sales and client management, and operations training was exciting and challenging. However, it did not allow for much cooking. The opportunity to teach part-time was available at Henry Ford College, and the last 15 years are “history.”

Highlights at Henry Ford College include program and enrollment growth, accreditations by the American Culinary Federation for the Culinary Arts AAS degree and the Baking and Pastry major, certifications of all staff members through National Restaurant and Lodging Association (Certified Hospitality Educator) and American Culinary Federation (Certified Executive Chef, Certified Executive Pastry Chef, Certified Sous Chef), comprehensive curriculum review and updates to include four less-than-degree certificates (Culinary Skills, Baking and Pastry, Hotel Services, Restaurant Service) and two AAS degrees (Culinary Arts, Hotel/Restaurant Management), comprehensive facility upgrades and expansions, student certifications as Certified Culinarian and Certified Pastry Culinarian, student and staff certifications through the National Restaurant and Lodging Association in Serv-Safe food safety and Serv-Safe responsible alcohol service, VIP catering and event management including the Henry Ford 100th birthday celebration and visits to the State of Michigan Capitol. In 2015, Henry Ford College was approved by the Higher Learning Commission for its first Bachelor Degree in Culinary Arts, and within two years, the program had already begun graduating students. Most recently, the student-run restaurant has been completely renovated and received a new farm-to-table, locally sourced concept.

RECRUIT, TRAIN, PROMOTE Patricia A. Chatman, PhD Eric Gackenbach, MBA Workforce is in the midst of a perfect storm. A significant shortage of individuals with skilled employee’s has left employers increasingly challenged to find qualified employees. Education (secondary and post-secondary) and government and industry struggle to bring short-term resolutions to this systemic issue due to limited equipment, materials, and shrinking financial and humam resources. In recent years, every day job openings continue to increase in every industry sector. While the press has focused on shortages in the skilled trades, the shortage of quality workers to fill job openings in the culinary and hospitality fields has yet to make front-page news. Many factors are contributing to the chef shortage of culinary hospitality workers: hh

Fewer high school students are interested in the service industry

Lack of qualified chefs to mentor those new to the profession, and lower unemployment overall

Heightened interest in cooking and travel shows, coupled with many new trends in restaurant cuisines, have done nothing to put a dent in current and anticipated job openings.

[ 50 ]

AN UNTAPPED LABOR POOL Despite the cries from industry needing a skilled workforce and unease over insufficient applicant pools, there remains an uneven number of employers willing to invest in developing a future-ready workforce and a strong hesitancy to recruit from non-traditional labor markets. Workforce agencies equip disadvantaged job seekers with the technical and life skills needed to reenter the labor market. We, workforce professionals, never advocate for the employment of anyone who is not prepared to engage in a meaningful work activity. A critical aspect of preparing persons with “barriers to employment” is assessing job readiness. The Henry Ford College Workforce and Professional Development department acts as a labor market intermediary, developing workforce strategies, customizing training, and unraveling complex systems to solve the talent shortage. We recognize today’s workers must be able to grow their careers while exploring new training opportunities that meet the needs of industry now and in the future. At HFC, we have extensive experience in aligning academic curricula with industry needs, identifying areas of professional growth for incumbent workers, onboarding (new hire training and orientation) and associating attainment. New hire or incumbent workers training both require a willingness on behalf of business and industry to not compete with, but partner with, education and workforce to expand applicant pools, size up training needs, and upskill talent.

RESKILL OR UPSKILL INCUMBENT WORKERS The dishwasher yearning to be a sous chef or the housekeeping attendant who wants to move to the front desk speak to a growing number of employees who seek to learn additional skills. To begin the process of growing your own talent, employers should identify current and future job vacancies they are struggling to fill from the front of the house to the back of the house. 1.

Do you need a lot of cooks, or one outstanding sous chef? Both are important. One excellent sous chef will lead and train multiple cooks. No cooks and the best sous chef will burn out trying to do all the work. 2. Are your utility people continually leaving for a 50-cent raise promised by a competitor? 3. Have your children committed to another career field and are no longer an option to take over your restaurant? 4. Who will operate the business reliably so that you don’t have to “take it back” once you’ve retired?

How you choose to answer and prioritize the needs of your business is your decision.

Send your employees to a restaurant or hotel skills certificate or degree program that blends guest service, business skills and culinary basics with hands-on restaurant operations.

CREATE TALENT PROFILES Think of all the key attributes you require for your business. It’s more than a job description; it includes real and realistic qualifications and job responsibilities that align with future goals. Employees want more from a job than a paycheck. You as an employer want more from an employee than the performance of a set of tasks. Your talent profile should include more than someone’s availability and willingness to work for a specific budgeted wage, so you receive more than an individual whose only loyalty is to their paycheck. Send your employees to college while they work in your business. Upskilling is the key to filling your current talent gap, retaining current employees longer even if they are “just passing through,” and attracting higher qualified and committed employees. Make investing in your staff’s human capital a priority by providing scholarships, tuition reimbursement, or direct sponsorship of the training and development of your team. Choose a high quality, low-cost local option that specializes in Hospitality Education. Send your employees part-time or full-time to a robust business and hospitality-focused Culinary Arts certificate or degree program.

[ 52 ]

SOME OF THE SCENARIOS TO CONSIDER: Sous Chef to General Manager, Server to Assistant Manager, Assistant Manager/undecided student to Hospitality Professional with new found empathy for the back of the house, Dishwasher to Executive Steward, Pasta Cook to Executive Chef, Bartender to Food and Beverage Director, Banquet Server to Events Salesperson, Salad Maker to Pastry Chef. Tuition reimbursement ensures your staff will stay past the end of the semester and likely past the end of their college program. Paying for Culinary and Hospitality education is a focused approach that decreases turnover and addresses talent gaps in your business. A hands-on educational program speed up employee development by moving students through all aspects of your business without you having to do all the training “on the job.” Training and education are transformational and present ideas and opportunities to your employees that they would otherwise not be drawn to. Hospitality Education is an opportunity to associate pride and excitement with current employment and future opportunities in your business.
