"They're gonna learn baking, they're gonna learn prep, catering, how to work on the hot line, how to wait on customers, how to be the cashiers," said Rich Spada, the program's lead teacher. "Every aspect of the industry from management to basic prep."
Spada learned to cook at Blue Hills Regional and is now passing his knowledge onto his students.
"There's real customers waiting for them, it's good real world experience," said Spada. "Nothing that we do is theoretical. Everything that we make has a purpose.
