Is food your first love? Looking to take your skills to the next level?
If so, now’s your chance to learn more about the region’s newest culinary school – the Culinary Institute of the South at Technical College of the Lowcountry.
The Culinary Institute will host an Enrollment Expo for prospective students from 8 a.m. to noon, on Monday, April 18 onsite at 1 Venture Drive in Bluffton’s Buckwalter Place.
“What a great time to enroll with us, and what a great time to be in this business,” said Chef Miles Huff, Dean of the institute.
As the tourism and hospitality industry continues to rebound from the pandemic, there’s been an ongoing demand for workers – especially employees with the right skills set, Huff said.
“Wages are up 30% and often come with a sign-on bonus, and that’s just from a few months ago,” he said.
Attendees will be able to learn more about associate degree and certificate options in Baking & Pastry, Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management.
In addition, information on scholarships and financial aid as well as application assistance will be provided onsite. And the best part of all – faculty and staff will be on hand to answer any questions prospective students may have, Huff said.
