A core part of her job is to create ways for students to build job skills and complete career readiness training so that they\u2019re ready to enter the workforce after graduation. \u201cEducating the next generation means that we have to pivot during tough budget conversations,\u201d says Bradford. \u201cMany school districts deprioritize electives like business finance or culinary arts because they\u2019re seen as extras or electives.\u201d The Compton School District is different and sees these types of programs as critical ways to prepare students to be successful in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The district wants to elevate their culinary arts program. That requires costly commercial kitchen equipment. But remodeling just one of the district\u2019s three kitchens can cost up to $1.8 million. Unfortunately, that means that it can become incredibly cost-prohibitive to provide robust culinary programs to their students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Getting real-world experience on wheels<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bradford and the Compton School District had a vision to do more with their culinary arts program.
