Nutritive values, safety and sanitation procedures, use of commercial equipment, serving techniques, and management of food establishments will also be studied. In addition to technical skills, students completing this program will develop advanced critical thinking, applied academic, career development, life and employability skills, and business, economic, and leadership skills required for culinary arts occupations.
