- We just implemented
an associates degree
in pastry arts which
is really cool.
So our students can come
in for the associates
in culinary and in pastry.
And we're one of the
only few colleges
that are now offering an
associates degree in pastry.
Somebody in this field could
do a plethora of things.
They could either go
work in the industry
like a hotel, or they
could do catering,
they could be a private chef,
and of course my favorite
work in a restaurant.
How are you doing?
- We're fine.
- And in pastry arts
it's the same thing,
work in a bakery,
work in a hotel,
work in a restaurant as
well and do plated desserts.
You can also go further
with your degree
and maybe become a food
writer, a food critic.
You could also do sanitation.
You could go to other facilities
and inspect them for sanitation
which come people
actually opt out to do.
So there's always a lot because
you know everybody eats.
I called out a salmon
wrap, so what's--
There's lots of
internship opportunities
at hotels or restaurants.
We're all making the connections
with a lot of local chefs.
The chef from the
Driskill often visits us
and he comes in and he
talks to students as well.
Gives them an idea of what's
going on in the field.
We like to place students
in really good places
because it's a
representation of us.
So we're seeing more students
going into Whole Foods,
hopefully starting to
work on the UT campus
and their food service industry,
lots of different places.
Even some of them
are even breaking out
and starting their own farms
which is a really good
thing and we love that.
There's a few farms around
here that we take the students
on field trips and it's
wonderful to see them
wanna incorporate
that into their life
or into their career.
That's the best trend possible
I think, sustainability.
