  Culinary Management (2259)
   
  This competency-based Culinary Management program is designed to prepare students for employment in production line and supervisory positions in the culinary arts industry as station chefs, sous chefs, second or first cooks, or lead cooks. The long range goal is to provide students with occupational preparation in becoming chefs in restaurants, hotels, clubs and large industrial kitchens. Competencies are developed by students through theory, laboratory, retail restaurant experience in the College-operated food facilities and internships in local restaurant and hotel kitchens. This program is offered at North Campus during the day and evening. A culinary/dietetics option is available for students desiring multi-disciplinary training. This option will enable graduates to use culinary arts, nutrition and food service management skills in a variety of traditional and non-traditional job settings. The Culinary Management program is also offered at Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport to Navy mess specialists. This program is arranged to fit into the Navy mess specialist schedule. It is open to other Navy personnel and dependents. For more program information at the naval bases, call 904.766.6652. Students enrolled in food production courses are required to purchase a knife set, and approved chef's uniform and black non-skid shoes. Textbooks are required for a majority of the courses. Students must supply their own health insurance coverage while enrolled in the program. The companies who provide internships require students to have insurance coverage while on their premises. Not all core courses are offered every term. There is a specified order in which many courses must be completed. The recommended sequence is available in a student handout. For further information on this program contact the program manager at 904.766.5563.
