The Vocational Skills Food Service Partnership classes are designed to help students with developmental disabilities transition into the work place, higher education and into adult life. The students are taught that they will be held to measurable standards in the workforce. Since its inception in spring 2006, the partnership has grown to include students from nine area school districts and social agencies. We are currently accepting additional students to participate in this very special partnership. All students must complete the sanitation course before or while taking other the other classes. Classes include sanitation, cold food preparation, hot food preparation, basic grill work, customer service, and basic bake shop preparation.
