CULINARY VOCATIONAL PROGRAMMING
Through community partnerships with conscience organizations, we provide 24-month evidence based programming for students (transitional age youth and empty nester - seniors) with the unique opportunity to participate in a training program in which they will be granted a unique understanding of culinary history and opportunities within the Culinary Arts no other school or training program has to offer. The "Intensives" will focus on the use of practical skills within a commercial kitchen as the "advanced training" will provide a hands-on entrepreneurial path to developing and cultivating a prosperous culinary related career.
