Is food your first love? Looking to take your skills to the next level?
If so, now’s your chance to learn more about the region’s newest culinary school — the Culinary Institute of the South at Technical College of the Lowcountry. The school will host an Enrollment Expo for prospective students from 8 a.m. to noon, on Monday, April 18, at 1 Venture Drive in Bluffton’s Buckwalter Place.
“What a great time to enroll with us, and what a great time to be in this business,” said Chef Miles Huff, Dean of the institute.
As the tourism and hospitality industry continues to rebound from the pandemic, there’s been an ongoing demand for workers – especially employees with the right skills set, Huff said.
“Wages are up 30 percent and often come with a sign-on bonus, and that’s just from a few months ago,” he said.
Attendees can learn more about associate degree and certificate options in Baking & Pastry, Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management.
In addition, information on scholarships and financial aid as well as application assistance will be provided onsite. Faculty and staff will also be on hand to answer any questions prospective students may have.
