A culinary arts program in Ontario is teaching high school students how to take their passion and turn it into a career.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 23% of new jobs created between 2021 and 2031 will be in leisure and hospitality.
"This is an opportunity for them to gain the basics and then they can hopefully pursue a career within culinary arts," Barbosa explained.In a class you might remember as home economics, the Culinary Arts Program at Ontario High School teaches kids how to take their passion and make it a career. The school built a modern kitchen in 2019 to provide students the opportunity to prepare meals and cater events. They can also get their food handler's certificates, a necessary credential for working at a restaurant.
"It's helpful because they bring some background that we don't necessarily have to teach, so we could use those types of candidates to come to Pechanga," Bates said.
