Professional Work Experience

This non credit program requirement would involve the student completing 300 hours of work experience in the industry to qualify for graduation. Based on the model used by Culinary Arts and Hospitality, this work experience will expose the student to many different areas of the wine industry. Many opportunities will exist for students to obtain these hours. Examples of experiences that would count to fulfill these hours would be attending beverage and/or food courses at New York Kitchen or similar venues, direct work experience at a winery or foodservice establishment working with wine and food, attending trade shows or industry conferences, and working an internship with an industry partner. The idea is to gather several different experiences to allow students to explore while learning how to be an industry professional.
