Restaurant Management (2212)
The Institute of the South for
Hospitality and Culinary Arts is dedicated to the meaningful learning and
excellent teaching that enables our students to achieve their full potential in
the hospitality, dietetics and food service industries. Our long term goal is
to empower students to become leading partners in a dynamic prosperous
community.
The Restaurant Management
program is designed to provide students with the basic restaurant management
principles and training for supervisory management positions in restaurants,
hotels, clubs, resorts, cafeterias, extended care facilities, fast food
operations and hospitals. The program is focused to provide students with a
foundation for building a rewarding career in a dynamic growing industry that
serves people. The hospitality/restaurant industry is the second largest and
fastest growing industry in Florida.
Educational courses include
emphasis on communication, management, human relations and leadership skills.
Competencies are acquired though theory, laboratory and on-site restaurant
management practice. Through the internship program, restaurant students gain
invaluable on-the-job experience in local restaurants, hotels, clubs or
cafeterias.
Students must supply their own
health insurance coverage while enrolled in the program. Companies that provide
internship sites require students to have their own insurance coverage while on
company premises.
The Culinary Arts and Hospitality program has established
internships with area restaurants, hotels and resorts. You will complete 600 hours of internship, generally in salaried
positions, while your earn your two-year degree.
The U.S. Department of Labor predicts the
national demand for food service managers will increase 10% to 20% annually through 2012. Applicants with a degree in food
service management have an advantage for the best positions.
