1. Kitchen Management Courses Focus on Offering
Students Practical Know-How
Summary: This article focuses on the Kitchen Management courses at
Centennial College as well as the admission requirements to attend, the
benefits of attending and post-graduate possibilities.
“The hospitality program is a great master plan for those who want to
pursue a career in this industry,” says Severo Vitorio Pastor, a graduate of
Centennial College’s Hospitality Operations – Kitchen Management offering.
“Each subject truly equips us with the knowledge, skills and experiences
that we need to become successful in our field.”
This insight from Severo demonstrates just how streamlined the Kitchen
Management courses within this offering are to ensure that students
spend their time only learning the know-how they truly need. As such,
topics covered within the Kitchen Management courses include a range of
hands-on kitchen experience, as well as business practices in accounting,
human resources, and supervision. This balance is offered through the
learning of skills such as: sanitation, hygiene and safety, as well as quantity
food preparation, theory of food, practical supervision of food production,
customer service, human resources and career planning, hospitality
accounting, practical math, purchasing for the commercial kitchen, and
many others.
To allow students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in their
Kitchen Management courses prior to graduation, Centennial College offers
a range of practical applications. Not only are some classes conducted from
the school’s on-campus living lab-restaurant called Horizons, but students
also have the opportunity to attend a hospitality program field placement.
During this time, students obtain meaningful work experience in approved
jobs within the food service industry, adding another educational dimension
to their career preparation. Field placement also enables learners to better
understand the dynamics of the industry, increases their knowledge of
industry practices, and provides a competitive advantage of experience in
the job market. In addition to the important career preparation that
students of this hospitality program receive through the field placement, the
company with which they spend time also hires many full-time. Among this

Chalet, Kelsey’s, Milestones, Red Lobster, Jack Astor’s, and many others.
