The Northern Berkshire Adult Education Program of North Adams Public Schools is pleased to continue the partnership with McCann Technical High School to offer two MassSTEP Culinary Arts cohorts during the 2023-2024 year. The first cohort will begin the week of September 25th. A second cohort will be held in the winter.
Through a grant from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, MassSTEP leverages collaborations among education, job training, and employers to build innovative concurrent education and workforce development opportunities for adult learners.
This 16 week Culinary Arts program will allow participants, seeking their GED/HiSET to graduate from the program with an OSHA-10 certification, ServSafe Food Handler Certification, as well as ServSafe Allergen training. Students will have two nights of hands-on culinary training and one evening of adult education class, with workforce readiness and digital literacy skills as part of the program.
To enroll, call Annie Pecor, Program Director at 413-412-1118. Space is limited, so call today to join the first cohort of students. Participants must be seeking a high school credential, be at least 16 years of age, and not currently enrolled in a highschool.
