ProStart Teacher & Student Regional Workshops

The Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association Educational Foundation (FRLAEF) is excited to announce ProStart Teacher and ProStart Student Regional Workshops. The ProStart Teacher Regional Workshops were developed to allow ProStart teachers the opportunity to come together during the school year while at the same time fine-tune their culinary skills. The ProStart Student Regional Workshops were designed to give ProStart students the opportunity to work in a more advanced kitchen while learning from a post-secondary instructor.

Six ProStart Teacher and ProStart Student Regional Workshops will be held on the same day at the same location. Teachers and students will not be in class together.
