ProStart is a two-year career and technical education program that focuses on teaching culinary arts and restaurant management skills.
ProStart educators have access to textbooks and curriculum supplements that help connect industry to the classroom.
The knowledge you share with your students can inspire the rest of their lives, so getting you excited about what the restaurant industry has to offer is important to us.
