Van Buren Tech’s Culinary Arts & Catering Management students are heading into the Michigan ProStart Competition next week, and this year’s preparation has looked a little different than in the past.
With a major renovation underway, students adjusted their training space while their kitchen was being completely transformed. They stayed focused and made the most of every opportunity to remain competition-ready. Today, they finally set up in their beautifully renovated, state-of-the-art kitchen.
The Michigan ProStart Competition brings together students from across the state to showcase their skills in Culinary, Management, and other industry events. First-place Culinary and Management teams advance to the ProStart National Invitational in Baltimore, Maryland.
Thank you to Chef Alexander Gandia and Van Buren Tech alum Chef Josh Vochaska for working alongside our instructors to mentor students and share their industry expertise.
From flexibility to professionalism, this team is ready to compete. We are proud to see them represent Van Buren Tech next week.
