Work Experience

Catalog description

In order to meet the requirements of this class, students must complete a minimum of 225 hours over the course of the semester in an approved internship position in a restaurant, foodservice or related industry. Students will be required to prepare a final report summing up their experience, complete weekly journal entries, submit mid-term and end of semester employer performance evaluations, and complete multiple self-evaluations. If the student needs help in acquiring a position in the industry, the instructor will help to seek out an appropriate paid internship position. Only an internship position in a pre-approved establishment will be accepted for credit. This experience is meant to be an opportunity for the student to gain valuable work experience, knowledge and applied skills in a restaurant, foodservice, or related industry internship position. Students must be aware that an internship follows the same commitment as a regular job in that you can be terminated at any time for issues such as poor performance, negative behavior or attitude, or unreliable attendance.
