A caterer works closely with clients to design menus and prepare and serve food and beverages for events. Caterers may work for a small or large company, or be self-employed.
This online course is designed to prepare students to organize and manage a catering function in a catering facility or at a customer's location. Students will learn catering styles, human resource management, accounting principles for catering, marketing, food production processes, food safety, and planning for success.
Students entering this program should have outstanding people skills, professional appearance, ability to work independently, good math skills, and knowledge and/or experience in hospitality-related fields is helpful. Since this course is delivered completely online, students need to have the self-discipline to complete all required material on their own.
Professional Catering jobs can be found in hotels, restaurants, convention centers, and catering businesses, or a caterer may have their own business. Additional career information may be found in Career Coach: https://ccbcmd.emsicc.com/.
