In this course students have the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills in the food service industry while on a work experience placement. Emphasis is placed on participation and professionalism.
Students are interviewed 6 weeks prior to the course starting, in order to match them with an appropriate host. Host options will vary based on the season, levels of business, and ability for the host to support the program at that time. Student placement requests are taken into consideration, however, assignment is determined by previous course grades, attendance, and overall performance and professionalism.
Certain hosts may require a meet and greet with the student, prior to accepting the placement.
Students may be pulled off the assignment, at any time without notice, should they pose a risk to themselves, others, or to the reputation of the college. Should this occur, students will only be re-assigned with the approval of the dean, and conduct officer.
