            "text": "There is a shortage of professionally trained minority students in the area of Food Safety and in order to encourage greater minority representation, according to FSIS, “since 2004, FSIS has entered into four Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with three Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and one Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). By signing a MOU with the above schools, FSIS has committed to having recruiters visit campus at least twice a year participating in career fairs, serving as guest lecturers, and meeting with student groups and faculty. This year, FSIS plans to enter into at least one additional MOU. Signing a MOU shows FSIS' commitment to building a strong business relationship with the university by having a presence on campus and by hiring their students and graduates. In addition to our MOU schools, FSIS actively recruits at twelve other schools that fall in the HBCU and HSI category. The level of involvement at our MOU schools and other HBCU/HSI schools has allowed us to hire 14 students in 2004 and 24 students in 2005, all under the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) with four being 1890 scholars. Fifteen of these students worked additional periods in 2006. We have had six students convert to permanent positions after they graduated during the time periods of 2004-2006."

We have found that a student sharing their FSIS experiences at the school makes a significant impact on increasing the interest in FSIS."

Also, the program has adopted a balance of distance education and traditional classroom teaching, with a substantial emphasis on ‘hands-on’ learning experience for its students. Since its inception in fall of 2012, it has so far served about 75 students. In recent years the AFE Nutritional Sciences and Food Systems Option has received numerous enquiries about the potential availability of a Certificate Course. This will allow us to offer a Certificate program, positively impacting enrollment from minority students, especially non-traditional students interested in obtaining vocational and certificate training in various aspects of Food Safety."
