Package about the Culinary Institute of America, San Antonio campus, providing culinary training for some active duty airmen and civilian employees.

Transcript:

VO: THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA’S SAN ANTONIO CAMPUS RECENTLY HOSTED A WEEK-LONG ADVANCED CULINARY SKILLS COURSE FOR A NUMBER OF ACTIVE DUTY AIR FORCE AIRMEN AND CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES. THIS UNIVERSITY-LEVEL CULINARY TRAINING IS PART OF A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE INSTITUTE AND AIR FORCE.
(Quote/Lower 3rd: Sally Truhitte, Program Coordinator, Air Force Services Activity)
“The training that is provided here to the students you know gives them information on techniques that they can take back…i.e. cooking…how to save money.”
VO: THE GOAL IS TO HELP AIR FORCE COOKS RAISE THEIR CULINARY SKILLS WHILE LEARNING NEW WAYS TO HELP IMPROVE BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND EFFICIENCIES IN AIR FORCE KITCHENS.
(Quote/Lower 3rd: Staff Sgt. Jacquelyne Ford, Food Service Shift Leader, 325th Force Support Squadron, Tyndall AFB)
“Anytime you can learn anything is always valuable. Learning is power and that’s what’s important to me. So yes, it’s very valuable to the Air Force as far as people being knowledgeable and learning and then providing that quality back into the defat for the Airmen.”
VO: THESE COURSES ARE GREAT MORALE AND CONFIDENCE BOOSTERS FOR ATTENDEES, WHILE GIVING THE AIR FORCE HIGHER-SKILLED KITCHEN PERSONNEL. AND THAT’S A WIN-WIN FOR EVERYONE.
