The Professional Culinary Arts & Hospitality program includes more than just food preparation and serving. This program also includes the identification, storage, selection and presentation of a wide variety of foods. Students participate in “real work” activities such as catering, preparation and presentation. Training in communication, leadership, human relations and employability skills, as well as safe, efficient work practices are a primary task. Laboratory activities are an integral part of this program and provide instruction in the use of special tools, state of the art equipment and other materials and regulations that are found in the industry. The restaurant and food-service industry is looking for the country’s best individuals to be its future stars. Restaurant and food-service, a $440-billion industry, is growing so quickly that it creates 300,000 new jobs each year and with that growth comes opportunities for advancement if you have the right skills and attitude.
