Practicum III

Catalog description

This course provides an opportunity for students to obtain practical work experience towards the end of a students’ degree track in the culinary, baking, and/or hospitality workforce through a 5-week or 8-week internship program at a desired foodservice establishment. Combining Practicum I, II, and III serves as a substitute for the Internship course degree requirement. This course encompasses a supervised work experience which provides the opportunity to make practical application of the knowledge and skills attained through a degree track specific to students’ individual goals. As the purpose of the course is to introduce students to various career fields, students are encouraged to choose different sites for each Practicum. A practicum begins with predetermined learning outcomes that allows for the upmost opportunity to engage, network, and work within the food community through focused, student-driven service projects. Each practicum requires 80 verified work hours.
