Culinary Training

teaches our students to work in a homestyle kitchen to learn the necessary cooking skills needed for independent living or progression into One Step Beyond’s Catering Program.

Participants in the Life-Skills Culinary Program participate in the planning and preparation of several internal catering events throughout the year. This supplements the classroom training members receive that center around event planning and provide opportunities for participants to gain the skills needed to advance to the Group Supported Employment Culinary Program. These events include monthly leadership lunches, hors d’oeuvre and appetizers for onsite parent meetings, and internal events throughout the year.
