All Serve Safe materials will be provided by a culinary supervisor. The class will be held weekly, unless otherwise notified. Serv Safe is meant to teach the individual about the safety and sanitation of the kitchen, as well as discipline, attention to detail, and accountability. It is the goal of the culinary program to have the individual obtain their Serv Safe Food Handlers’ certificate  individual will have the opportunity to learn the Serv Safe Managerial material and the culinary program will assist in the financial portion of the assessment.

Monthly evaluations are initiated by the student or it could be scheduled by a supervisor, if necessary. These evaluations will have the student demonstrate the knowledge that the individual has gained and their current progress within the program.

Students are expected to call in at least 2 hours before their shift to inform of absence/tardiness. If there is an emergency, it is the responsibility of the individual to leave a voicemail or related message the day of the absence/tardiness. Three no call no shows will result in a mandatory meeting and/or subsequent termination, at the discretion of the supervisor(s).

Any and all schedule requests must be made by filling out a schedule request form, available in the culinary supervisor office, at least one week in advance. It will be approved or denied at the supervisor’s discretion.

Participation is necessary to the growth of the individual. The culinary supervisors encourage the individual to not fear mistakes, so that we may offer modifications to improve performance. Situations will arise and, in these cases, we will offer alternatives to cope with the occurrences by setting goals to counter the occurrence. The practice of behavioral skills and situational awareness will better prepare the individual for a paid position of regular employment outside of MHCD.

If the individual is not in the program to learn, better themselves, and practice mutual prosperity, the individual’s participation in the culinary program will be questioned, and possibly, terminated.
