Hospitality & Culinary Careers Exploring

Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m. - Hospitality & Culinary Careers Exploring at Jefferson State Community College Shelby Campus for juniors or seniors who are interested in pursuing a hospitality or culinary career.  The purpose of this program is to provide experiences to help young people explore career fields, assist in character development, and help them develop leadership and life skills.  Twice a month throughout the year, students will meet with professors at Jeff State to get hands-on experience and exposure to their area of interest.  Jeff State will match their employees and resources to the interests of the students.  There will be a $10 fee for each student.  (The fee will be paid at the first meeting if you choose to participate.)  The meeting should last about an hour, and parents are welcome to attend.  We will meet on the ground floor of the Health Sciences building of our Shelby Campus, located at the corner of Valleydale Road and Jaguar Drive.  If you have any questions, please e-mail Libby Holmes at lholmes@jeffstateonline.com, or you can call (205) 983-5230 for more information.

About Everest Academy

We believe that the parent has the best interests of their children at heart. We believe that the parent is the first and only teacher that a child needs. In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off cover school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children. We ask only for what the law requires while offering support along with quality resources to aid families in their efforts.
