Upon completion of the program students will be trained in all levels of Commercial Foods from working as a salad preparer and bus person through the highly technical area of being a pastry chef. Students will periodically prepare lunches for the student body. Hands-on experience is also gained in the proper method of serving and setting up banquets and buffets as students practice their craft catering advisory committee meetings and special occasions such as the Annual Day of Beauty Scholarship Fundraiser.

SkillsUSA (formerly known as Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, VICA) is also an integral part of the program. Students participate in regional and state competitions in food preparation and business and leadership skills (Link to SkillsUSA?)

The program is open to adults and Orange County high school students. For further information, contact the Westside Tech student Service Department or the Career and Technical Education Coordinator at your home high school.
