CULINARY ARTS

SHOP OVERVIEW

The Culinary Program is designed to provide students with training for a successful career in the food service/hospitality industry. As one of the fastest growing service areas, students are trained for entry-level employment.


Culinary Arts also offers a ServSafe (Food Safety) certification and a ten-hour OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) card to all students. Students are encouraged to pursue advance training in post-secondary schools and/or colleges.  


Students who have fulfilled the learning outcome objectives in Putnam’s Culinary Arts/Hospitality Management program, and who are recommended as being competent in this subject matter, will be recognized for 14 credits in Hospitality Management at Holyoke Community College.
