Information about work-based learning

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act., I hereby request the following records:

Per this announcement by the head of CCC (http://ccc.edu/news/Pages/Chancellor-Juan-Salgado-Announces-New-Initiative-to-Help-Students-Graduate-with-Work-Based-Learning-Experience.aspx):

- Current plans for getting to 4,000 students in work-based learning programs
- Planned 'convenings' with business and civic communities - when, where, and list of planned participants.
- Number of students who must be in work-based learning to ensure half of them graduate with such an experience
- Overview of academic programs that currently include this as a requirement
- Overview of academic programs that are planned to incorporate this as a requirement in the future.
- Clarification. Does the announcement talk about half of graduates (earning a degree) or half of those earning a credential?

- Any documents on this topic shared with members of the Faculty Council of CCC
- Any emails to and from Katheryn Hayes on this topic.
- Any communication with any staff in the Mayor's Office, including press and communications personnel.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

James Brackett
