Tri-Rivers Culinary Arts claims spot on Elite 50
Tri-Rivers Career Center’s Culinary Arts program was named to the Elite 50 list of secondary school hospitality programs in the United States for 2014-2015.
Every year, the Elite 50 recognizes secondary schools that have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in hospitality education. Those schools exhibit strong hospitality enrollment and influence in their community. They excel in the areas of culinary arts, baking and pastry arts, an/or hospitality management.
More than 350 schools were invited to apply for the honor of being named to the Elite 50 list. The application included: an original recipe with photos of restaurant management design, two essays from students on the topic “Why I want to pursue a career in hospitality” and a video, brochure and additional information about the school’s program.
Additional consideration was given to schools that operate a restaurant and/or offer catering services as part of their hospitality training, according to Tri-Rivers Chef Sheila Hamm, instructor of the program at TRCC.
A team from the National Center of Hospitality Studies at Sullivan University oversees the selection process for the Elite 50 list.
Tri-Rivers Culinary Arts students operate C.C. Bistro, C.C. Beans Coffee Cafe and C.C. Buns Bakery; they also cater events.
