Program Description: Culinary Technician
Have you recently graduated—or graduated some time ago—from a vocational high school with a focus on hospitality, and are you looking to continue or change your career path? Then the “Gastronomy” program is perfect for you. Gastronomy technicians are increasingly establishing themselves as leaders and supervisors in kitchens and restaurants. They ensure that work runs smoothly, take on more demanding culinary tasks themselves, and ensure the quality of the ingredients supplied. A culinary technician has a thorough knowledge of domestic and international cuisine as well as the selection of wines and other beverages, and is also familiar with the natural and cultural heritage and tourist attractions of the local area where they work. The job requires dedication, strong communication skills, decisiveness, and a desire to enhance one’s own knowledge and share it with others.
Due to the growth in the number of hospitality establishments of all kinds, this is a highly sought-after profession. Job opportunities are available in hospitality and tourism establishments, hotels, cafeterias, and elsewhere.
