In a classroom setting, you will be given the tools necessary to master the fundamental culinary and management skills needed for success in the restaurant, foodservice, and hospitality industries. In addition, you will receive instruction on employability skills, such as leadership, accountability, teamwork, and responsibility — giving you an edge against any competition that comes your way.
