UTC executive Linda Davis has recently graduated from the Aramark ProChef Certification program. Partnering with the Culinary Institute of America, the program is a comprehensive professional development and culinary skills verification program which measures core culinary, managerial and financial acumen, including a chef’s skill in taste, proper cooking methods, authenticity, plating, use of all ingredients, hygiene and disposal of food waste.
“It was very grueling and intense, but it was a great experience,” Davis said.
According to Davis, she spent a week at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, working 13 to 16 hours a day learning history and fundamentals of cooking, and receiving critique and feedback.
“I went to better my craft,” she said.
Davis was one of the 42 Aramark Higher Education chefs to graduate from the program in 2010.
