Cooking Program

Why should students study Cooking Program?
Culinary career, which offers both an enjoyable job and a high income source, stands out as one of the leading professions among young people today. One of the reasons for the interest shown in Cooking programs in our country is the need for qualified staff in this field. Since the Food and Beverage sector is one of the sectors which has the highest growth acceleration in Turkey, the need for trained and qualified staff in this field is more important than all other professions. In today's world, where unemployment is still an important problem in other sectors, it is an expected result that our students are directed to departments and programs where jobs can be found more easily. Students who successfully complete the educational program are awarded an associate degree diploma in Cooking.
