“This semester, we teamed up with (TSTC’s) Workforce Training and Continuing Education department and our campus recruiting team to put these classes together to give back,” said Chasey Davis, an instructor in TSTC’s Culinary Arts program. “These classes are being held not only to help the community learn more skills in the kitchen and have a good time, but to give back to our amazing students who work to get their education.”
There will be classes for children, adults and couples. Couples classes are for people 18 and over, while family nights are for people ages 8 and up. General public classes are for ages 15 and older.
