This occupational food service program provides an environment through which students can develop culinary skills within the foodservice arena. Hands-on activities encourage students to develop life-long employable skills with the food service industry. Organization, time management, food production and preparation are also explored. A passing grade in a one-half course in the practical arts is required for graduation.
