Media
Classroom theory and demonstrations are routinely practiced in the production kitchen as Culinary Arts and Design students prepare food for MITT’s three campus cafeterias under the guidance of veteran chef instructors. These hands-on skills are further reinforced during end-of-school-year work practicum. Effective customer service, as well as employability and essential skills acquired through MITT’s Work Skills Series workshops, ensure graduates are well-rounded in all facets of food preparation and production.
Who it is for
Individuals who thrive under pressure, work well as part of a team, are creative and detail-oriented, and have a passion for food and learning new cooking techniques and skills. Keen senses of taste and smell, and stamina are assets.
Continuous Program Improvement
MITT continuously reviews and improves programs to maintain relevance in the workplace and effective learning experiences for all students. Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
COVID-19 Response
Due to the challenges raised by COVID-19, MITT reserves the right to alter course delivery methods and/or program durations. Course deliveries may require increased percentages of online/distance learning components, alternatives to work practicums, and extended program durations to accommodate physical distancing and work practicum placement restrictions. MITT will be providing an exceptional level of enhanced student and program supports to ensure this modified program experience continues to meet all required learning outcomes for your program.
