Jefferson State Community College and the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) have worked alongside the state’s Hospitality and Tourism associations to create free customized training for employees seeking immediate jobs in the Food Services industry.
This free training will ensure participants learn skills needed to work in the food industry. The 16-hour course will be offered on a virtual platform. A supplemental in-person lab will be held at the Jefferson State Shelby-Hoover Campus.
Immediately following the in-person training, several properties will conduct interviews for employment, including Renaissance Ross Bridge, Sheraton/Westin Birmingham Hotels, and Taziki’s Restaurants.
Participants will learn:
– Customer Service
– Conflict Resolution
– Knife Skills
– Purchasing Procedures
– Kitchen Safety
– Beverage Service
– Food Storage
Participants completing the course will be awarded the ACCS Credential from Jefferson State which indicates they are ready for work. The credential will also provide a discount in tuition or articulated credit at Jefferson State for future classes.
