CTHSS sets stage for student/teacher exchange programs
with French Culinary Institute

Culinary Arts students and teachers will soon have opportunities to travel to France to expand learning opportunities as part of an agreement forged between CTHSS and Lycee Hotelier Quercy-Perigord - a Culinary Arts institute for high school students in Toulouse , France .

Administrators from both systems are currently working out details and arrangements for exchange programs between the Connecticut Technical Schools and the French technical institute.  France organizes its technical schools differently than Connecticut in that it has created schools devoted solely to each technical discipline, e.g. culinary arts, carpentry, drafting and design.  Thus, it is possible that this agreement can be expanded to compacts with other schools that focus on other technologies.

Wilcox Tech has just added the study of French for its Culinary Arts students and will likely be the first to involve students in the exchange.
