Stakeholders’ in Culinary Arts Programs at Community Colleges
It is the hope of FELC to share the teaching research of members and others on home page of the website, http://www.fooded.org/. To start off this new service to the culinary arts and hospitality eduactors in our learning community there is now an article written by Samuel Glass Samuel Glass M.Ed CEC CCE AAC , School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culture, Toronto, ON, sglass@centennialcollege.ca. The synopsis of his master's thesis can be downloaded but if have further questions please be sure to contact Sam.
Here is the introductory paragraph to Sam's article:
The hospitality industry in both Canada and the United States is growing. With that growth is a demand for qualified workers to fill available positions within all facets of the hospitality industry, one of them being cooks. To meet this labour shortage, community colleges offering culinary arts programs are ramping up to meet the needs of industry to produce workplace-ready graduates. Industry, students, and community colleges are but three of the several stakeholders in culinary arts education.
For those of you who would like to share papers or presentations you have made on culinary arts and hospitality education send a request to Mick La Lopa at mlalopa@fooded.org. We will be happy to post your work for the benefit of culinary arts and hospitality educators everywhere.
