Testimonials

  • Being in the industry for as many years as I have, the real struggle for quality help has been a problem for decades. Our ability to contact and work with graduates, as well as current students at Fox Valley Technical College, has been wildly beneficial to the success of our establishment. The culinary program at FVTC has enabled my teammates to hit the ground running and understand the real world requests of employers.”

    Jordan Hereford, Owner, Field & Fire Kitchen, Greenville
     

  • I feel that we have an incredible staff of instructors at FVTC. When I graduated, my relationship with them did not end. They have always been there for me, to encourage me to keep learning.”

    Gina Schomaker, Culinary and Baking Adjunct Instructor, FVTC Alumnae
     

  • Before (the renovations began), it was hard to see or even hear the teacher due to overcrowding of students, outside noise and not enough room to see the teacher do a demonstration. … 
    “Now, within the spaces that have been remodeled so far, we have much more room to see the teacher; they have thick walls to block out outside noise and even have cameras and TVs to see the teacher do demonstrations. With all the new space we have, we can have more students, new classes, and more opportunities to learn in a comfortable space.”

    Connor Odie, FVTC Culinary Student
     

  • I have been very grateful for FVTC Culinary Arts since the 1980s. As a student, employee and instructor, I have
    witnessed a lot of learning, creativity and hard work that has fed many wonderful, gracious people.”

    MJ Tenpas, Culinary and Hospitality Instructor
     

  • I really like how (FVTC) has motivated me to get involved. …. I've met amazing people, learned from real world experiences, and started to figure out exactly where I want to go in this industry. If you're passionate about food or hospitality, this program makes you feel like you're in the right place.”

    Jenna P., FVTC Culinary Student
     

  • For many years, culinary teaching occurred in the middle of a large scale catering operation. This remodel allows a more intimate learning experience for the learner where the focus can be directed to the individual competencies.”
