Perkins students pass ServSafe exam, become ServSafe certified

Several Carl D. Perkins Job Corps Centers Culinary Arts students are now “ServSafe Certified.” The students, under the instruction of Chef Terry Marrs, are Amber Jones, Clint Gardner, Austin Smith, Heather Lida, Brittany Fraley, Matthew Love, Anthony Maynard, Ruben Rawlins, William Simmons and Daniel Turnage. They spent the last four weeks studying for the ServSafe exam.

The ServSafe Food Handler Program is a complete program designed to delivers consistent food safety training to employees. The program covers five key areas: personal hygiene; cross-contamination and allergens; time and temperature; and cleaning and sanitation. All Culinary students are required to complete the training and pass the exam before they do actual cooking within the class.
