Chef Andy has been stopping by the TRAILS program as he and Post Secondary/TRAILS teacher, Caroline Davis, pilot a new program called "Restaurant Ready." Four students from the MCESA TRAILS program are participating and upon completion, they will receive a nationally certified certificate from the National Restaurant Association.
Students will also have the opportunity to visit restaurants and learn more about the skills necessary to work in a restaurant. We are very excited for this partnership and opportunity for our students! #mcesabettertogether
As a reminder, tomorrow, March 23 is a half day for MCESA programs, and Spring Break begins on Friday, March 24. Whether you're going somewhere warm or staying local, we hope everyone has a safe and relaxing break. Programs will resume on Monday, April 3.
