Student Life & Career Development

SERVICE & EDUCATION

The HTC Culinary Arts program prepares students for career opportunities in hotels, restaurants, clubs, and the food service industry. Positions available for work are bakers, assistant pastry chefs, kitchen managers, personal chefs, and entry-level management. Train to be a part of a gourmet restaurant by experiencing all stations within the food service industry such as “front of the house” with HTC’s on-campus gourmet dining room. Experience the theoretical side of the business. Learn exactly what it takes to operate a restaurant and succeed. Students who complete the Culinary Arts diploma program are eligible to pursue American Culinary Federation certification.

“Now that I’ve seen how Hennepin Tech prepares students for culinary careers, I would definitely choose the Hennepin Tech graduates to work in my kitchen.”

— CULINARY ARTS GRADUATE, DENIS DURNEV

Students in the HTC Child Development program learn how to plan age appropriate activities that recognize the diversity of children and families while providing a healthy, safe environment. Graduates may seek employment as teachers and child care providers. HTC offers three options for our Child Development students. A 32 credit diploma, a transferrable A.S. degree tailored to ease the transition from 2-year to a 4-year institution, and a 60 credit A.A.S degree. We have articulations with many 4-year institutions, so regardless of which degree you pursue we can help you achieve your goals in the field of Child Development and Early Childhood Education.

“I was using my teaching portfolio from Hennepin Tech (and), shared my lesson plans on Facebook.”
