The Treasure Coast Food Bank is accepting applications for its next Culinary Training Academy. The 12-week job training program in Fort Pierce prepares graduates for careers in the food production industry. It’s designed to help them develop their skills and move into new roles.
As many struggle with employment during the pandemic, the program is meant to serve as an option for improving a person’s future potential.
President and CEO Judith Cruz says students will learn the principles of cooking, cleanliness, food service operation, and designing a menu. The course has been offered for 4 years, but it’s even more vital right now.
