The City University of New York was awarded funding through the United States Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAA CCCT) grant program to offer CUNY Career PATH, a three-year program aimed at supporting adult students in career advancement and successful college transition, and building CUNY’s capacity to serve adult workers.
CUNY Career PATH at Kingsborough Community College provides career and college-focused occupational training, with integrated math skills instruction in Culinary Arts, Food and Beverage Service/Hospitality, and Community Health. Strengthened connections between college transition programs, occupational training, and degree programs—bolstered by strong advisement and enhanced student services—will help students progress on each step of their education and career pathway. In the short-term, participants can earn industry-recognized credentials and find jobs. In the longer term, they can translate their training into college credit and enter degree programs.
