27 September 2017Meet a Presenter
As part of our 6th Annual Deans and Directors Retreat, we will feature peer presentations with the topic “Revolution or Evolution.” There will be two Innovation Panels and we will introduce you to the speakers in the coming weeks.
Albert Schmid, CEC, CCE, CCA, CCP, CHE...and many more!
Albert Schmid is an author, chef and educator with over 30 years of experience in the foodservice industry and in the classroom. Chef Schmid is the Director of Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management at Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, North Carolina.
Chef Schmid will be talking about the Mobile Catering and Food Truck Management Diploma which is offered at their school.
The Diploma provides specific training required to prepare students to assume positions in catering and food trucks. Students will learn the fundamentals of kitchen equipment, tools, basic cooking, menu prep, teamwork, sanitation and safety to meet the growing demand for trained professionals in the food truck industry. Graduates should qualify for ownership of a food truck.
To learn more about Chef Schmid as well as to enjoy some of his various videos on topics ranging from How to Make an Old Fashioned Cocktail to The Kentucky Bourbon Cookbook, visit his website here.
The Deans and Directors Retreat will be held March 2-4, 2018 in San Antonio, Texas.
