Culinary and Hospitality
ProStart offers a pathway in Culinary and Hospitality where students have an opportunity to earn college credit through dual enrollment with Metropolitan State University (MSU) and in partnership with the Colorado Restaurant Foundation. The Culinary and Hospitality Pathway at the Legacy Campus will offer students the ability to gain hands-on skills with first-class industry experience. This is a ProStart program offered through the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation that will introduce students to culinary arts, restaurant and lodging management, employability skills, and business entrepreneurship.
As students have an opportunity obtain the national ProStart Certificate of Achievement, they will complete a 400-hour guided internship and pass the exams for both ProStart I & II. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn the nationally recognized ServSafe industry certifications. Students will engage with local restaurants and hotels for mentored internship opportunities and be a part of Legacy’s own student-run Marketplace & catered events.
