Section R. 393.46 - Cafeteria training for licenseesRule 46.
(1) Under the Randolph-Sheppard act of 1936, as amended, as specified in 20 U.S.C. §107 et seq., a licensee is eligible for upward mobility training. Training a vending facility licensee to become a cafeteria facility licensee is appropriate upward mobility training. An individual plan for employment is developed for a client who participates in upward mobility training.(2) Entry into the program as a cafeteria vending facility licensee requires college-level academic competencies and on-the-job training, as determined by the commission board with the active participation of the committee, and as published in the program operating manual. For a licensee who is managing a vending facility, a portion of the college-level academic competencies and cafeteria on-the-job training, as determined by the commission board with the active participation of the committee, is required. The remaining portion of the college-level academic competencies as determined by the commission board with the active participation of the committee shall be completed by the licensee within a time period specified by the commission board with the active participation of the committee.(3) College-level competencies may be obtained at institutions of higher education offering programs in food service or motel and hotel management.(4) If a licensee who is managing a vending facility applies to become a cafeteria vending facility licensee, then the licensee shall first be referred to the cafeteria promotional agent for a successful interview before referral to the vocational rehabilitation program for the case file to be reopened.(5) If a candidate is considered to be not appropriate to become a cafeteria vending facility licensee by the promotional agent, then the candidate shall be referred to the vocational rehabilitation counselor for alternative services. A candidate shall not be admitted to the program without a satisfactory interview.(6) It is the responsibility of the licensee to do all of the following: (a) Provide the program administrator with a grade report within 30 days of completion of the academic period.(b) Maintain a 2.0 grade point average over the entire academic career.(c) Complete all classes during the academic period.(d) Fully utilize recording services and volunteer reader services.(e) Apply for financial assistance each academic year.(f) Complete the remaining requirements of the college-level academic competencies.(7) If a licensee enrolled in a college or university fails to meet the conditions identified in subrule (6) of this rule, then the deficiencies shall be reviewed by the administrator or his or her designee and the client. If necessary, the licensee shall be informed that he or she is being placed on probation by the commission and that failure to meet the conditions for eligibility within the next academic period shall result in complete discontinuance of support by the commission. A grade of incomplete received by the client shall be made up during the next academic period.(8) The probationary status identified in subrule (7) of this rule pertains only to financial academic support, not to the licensure of a licensee.(9) If a licensee has successfully completed the college-level academic competencies, then she or he shall forward the documents to the promotional agent. The promotional agent shall provide confirmation that college-level competency requirements have been met.(10) After a licensee completes the initial portion of the academic competencies, the cafeteria promotional agent shall arrange for on-the-job training for the licensee.(11) Failure to complete the additional college-level competency areas within the time period specified in subrule (2) of this rule after being awarded a cafeteria license shall result in commencement of license revocation. The time period for completing the academic requirements begins on the date the licensee signs the vending facility agreement for the operation of the cafeteria.(12) A licensee who fails to complete the additional college-level competency areas within the time period specified in subrules (2) and (11) of this rule is not precluded from bidding on a facility of another type before the expiration of the time period.Mich.
