PATHWAY CONNECTION

Hudson County Community College (HCCC) partnered with Jersey City Public Schools to provide noncredit classes and Early College classes which allow high school students to obtain college credit. HCCC adapted 3 SCPro Fundamentals credential courses (Supply Chain Management, Warehousing, and Transportation) for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students. The curriculum for the first course, Supply Chain Management, was adapted to match a high school schedule while retaining all key components and outcomes of the course. The delivery of the course will align with the third and fourth marking periods from February – June for the 2022-2023 high school academic year. The remaining courses will be offered during the 2023-2024 academic year. 

Salem Community College (SCC) created a targeted outreach program intended for traditional aged youth (18 to 24-year-old) to expose them to career pathways in the supply chain industry and to allow them to earn 3 college credits towards SCM101: Introduction to Supply Chain Management.  SCC created marketing materials including a website landing page, intake form, and email messaging which was shared with local non-profits, high school guidance counselors, the Salem County Board of Social Services, and the Workforce Development Board of Cumberland / Salem / Cape May. SCC delivered this training to both high school students and adult learner in one combined cohort of 15 participants in Fall 2023. Of the initial 15 participants, 10 successfully completed the program and 5 earned college credit upon earning a passing grade. SCC may offer this training in the Spring 2023 and Summer 2023 semesters.
