To get a glimpse at an extreme example of efficient restaurant management, take a look at Willy Staley’s recent article in NY Times Magazine, “22 Hours in Balthazar.” Balthazar, one of Soho’s hottest spots for fine dining and ultimate star-gazing, churns out high quality meals for 1,500 diners a day, spending close to $90,000 a week on food. To keep patrons fed, the restaurant has become a factory—“raw materials enter through one side early each morning, moving through various stations, where 150 to 200 employees, each playing a narrowly defined role, produce finished, value-added and marked-up goods and serve them directly to end users.” Because of this extreme efficiency, the machine shines. Every role is just as important as the next, from the stewards who bring in and catalog deliveries at 6:00 each morning to head chef Shane McBride who makes important decisions about suppliers, recipes and menus. This New York location has such a well-run system, it recently flew a team of busboys to train staff at their new London location.
Does this spark your interest? If you’re curious to learn more about the New York restaurant industry, the Food and Beverage or Culinary Arts paths in CUNY CareerPATH at Kingsborough might be your first step towards a career in this fast-paced field. Eligibility restrictions apply, so we encourage you to speak with a representative about your options. We have information sessions scheduled through December, so get in touch with us today!

If you aren’t yet enrolled at Kingsborough, or another community college, the Center for Economic and Workforce Development has programs to help start your higher educational journey. If you need to get your GED and would like to develop important work readiness skills, Project Rise can help.

Both programs provide the ability to earn college credits while you train. Contact us with any questions about these or other opportunities.
Last week, CUNY CareerPATH administrators Dr. Babette Audant, Executive Director of CEWD, Ms. Alissa Levine, Director of Programs at CEWD and Ms. Ashley Dallman, CareerPATH Program Director, traveled to Milwaukee, WI for the National Council for Workforce Education (NCWE) conference. The three led a panel talking about CCP’s experiences using technology to develop tools that manage both the $19.8 million TAACCCT grant and 8-college career advancement and college readiness program. The programs highlighted during this panel include Ning, a social networking tool which provides both a community meeting place for consortia members and a secure location for housing key documents, and a Quality Assurance system, developed especially for CCP, which tracks and produces real-time reports informing program delivery.
In addition to this panel, Kingsborough’s Project Rise was nominated for the Exemplary Program award for Non-Credit Workforce Programs. Congratulations to the winners!

Thursday, September 12, 2013 (Bronx, NY)—Anita Bhattacharjee took a rather selfless
approach to higher education. She waited until her children had received the kind of
education she valued so highly before returning to the classroom herself at age 52.
After graduating from the CUNY CareerPATH Community Health Worker Certificate
Program in December of 2012, Anita was the first member of her cohort to enroll for a
regular associate’s degree course load at Eugenio María de Hostos Community
College. “I was a single mother who always made sure my three children studied hard for school, and with that, my daughter graduated with honors at the age of 16. With more determination and hard work, my twin boys went on to attain college degrees. Nevertheless, my education was always at the back of my mind. I wanted them to graduate first, but having my college degree was something I always wanted,” Anita
said.
The CUNY CareerPATH Community Health Worker Certificate Program trains residents of South Bronx and Northern Manhattan who meet the eligibility requirements to join the healthcare workforce. The training consists of 120 hours centered on community health worker core competencies, and contemporary health issues such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease and chronic disease self-management. An additional 60 hours are devoted to helping participants develop their academic skills in reading, writing and math.
