The Professional Food Services 1 Program provides students with both basic and advanced technical skills and essential worker traits to secure and retain employment in the food service field (restaurants, hotels, college cafeterias, etc.). Students work and learn in a commercial kitchen and use professional equipment as part of their training. Students work and learn in a fast-paced, physically de
manding, constantly changing, and very realistic setting.
