Opus Creative Industries has launched a first-of-its-kind Advanced Hospitality and Culinary Apprenticeship program. The program offers intense advanced food preparation skill, creative expression and fine dining menu building with training in business and resource management, finance, and ordering.

The Hospitality Capstone Program was born from colliding trends: 1) COVID-19 pandemic devastation of the restaurant industry; 2) culinary program graduates and military cuisine veterans with only entry level skills; and 3) lack of advanced hospitality training options. Five powerhouse employers are determined to create a culinary hospitality career ladder: Brother Luck, Jay Gust (Ascent), and Justin Miller (Broadmoor). CSCCC’s program incorporates advanced food preparation skills and fine dining menu building with training in business and resource management, finance, ordering – the resources to build a successful career.
