Specifications include, but are not limited to:MPS has 11,000 employees and serves over 75,000 children and young adults in the greater Milwaukee area. As part of the District’s professional development and training initiatives, MPS is looking to partner with institutions of higher learning to bring credit-bearing educational opportunities to our staff. This RFP is one of two designed to solicit various types of such opportunities. For this specific RFP, MPS seeks proposals from regionally-accredited institutions of higher learning to co-offer courses to enable MPS to offer credit-bearing courses in the concentration areas of: 1) management, business administration and/or leadership; 2) technology, CIS, graphic design and/or IT; 3) communications; 4) accounting and/or finance; 5) human resource management; 6) building engineering/trades and facilities and industrial maintenance; 7) computers, technology support and networking; 8) culinary assistant/management, food production and food service sanitation; 9) customer service, communications and accounting/bookkeeping; and 10) leadership/management, administrative professional and LEAN/Six Sigma. It is expected that partner will work with MPS to establish a program which allows MPS to offer accredited courses taught by MPS staff to MPS staff. Such courses will be for credit, potentially leading to a completed degree or internal certificates for employee development and advancement. All courses offered by partner pursuant to this program will be taught by MPS staff, in accordance with respondent’s adjunct faculty certification process. Courses will take place at MPS facilities using the partner’s recommended curriculum, books and materials
