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 Bridging to Work 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.
