ProStart is a school-to-career culinary arts program for juniors and seniors interested in careers in food services. The classroom provides the venue for instruction in 25 subject areas, ranging from basic food preparation, to accounting, cost control, sanitation and workplace safety. Through a partnership with local restaurants, paid internships during non-school hours provide job relevant experience. Job site mentors work with students to help them put into practice the skills and food service concepts they have learned in the classroom. Students also write first- and second-year national exams to receive industry-recognized certificates and to qualify for scholarships to colleges and universities offering programs in the hospitality industry. ProStart is a partnership with the Massachusetts Restaurant Association (MRA). Students who complete the two-year program and pass the exam will receive their certification through MRA.
