Culinary, Pastry & Dining Room Tool Kit & Uniform Guidelines

HMGT students entering the HMGT 1203 Culinary Arts I and HMGT 1204 Pastry Arts I are required to be in full uniform and have culinary tool kits on the first day of class. View this PDF to see examples of the uniform and tool kit and learn about what is included.

Professionalism for me is everything and is exhibited the moment I put on my uniform. From the tip of my hat to the bottom of my non slip shoes, nothing is overlooked, I make sure my coat is clean with no wrinkles, my pants do not drag, and my apron is well tied.

For students who are just beginning their lab classes, ensuring your uniform and knife kit are well maintained will give you confidence, and will also show your professors and the people around you that you are ready to work, and it also ensures your safety!

Preparing for The Internship Course

HMGT students working towards their BTech degree are required to complete the internship course. Watch this video which shares information about preparing for the internship requirement.

“When looking for an internship I recommend for you to be professional (it should always be that way). Include your resume in the email because they may ask for it. To find internships use Handshake, the job search on Google, the website where you plan to do your internship, or ask your classmates and professors.

Be patient. I applied to more than 5 hotels and only one replied to me. And guess what? They approved my internship. Good luck!”
