I am a firm believer that we must not only teach our students technical skills, but we must also teach them jobs skills and life skills. If they can’t get a job, can’t keep a job or can’t manage their lives, then they will be doomed to failure even if they have the cooking skills of Escoffier.

I realize that it might seem an odd time to be publishing this article since for many of you the academic year just ended.

The remaining five will be published next month.
