FOOD SERVICE TRAINING

RCP’s MassSTEP ESOL program integrates English language skills and civics education with career-specific training in the food service industry. This training program is designed to prepare students with basic skills, relevant occupational skills, and essential workplace skills to enter the workforce in the food service and hospitality industries. The curriculum combines language development and workforce preparation training to provide ESOL students with the skills needed to obtain an entry-level position with one of our employer partners. The skills taught will also help prepare students to move into higher-wage jobs at a faster pace.
