The Culinary Institute of the Carolinas at Greenville Technical College provides students with basic food knowledge and culinary techniques for classical and current trends. All courses are built from a foundation of competencies required for American Culinary Federation Education Foundation Accrediting Commission (ACFEFAC) accreditation, which means our program stays current with industry expectations.
Greenville Technical College's Truist Culinary and Hospitality Innovation Center (CHI) is now open, bringing a unique training facility for workforce development to West Greenville.
Let's take a tour...
The Truist Culinary & Hospitality Innovation Center (CHI) is a neighborhood-based venue delivering recreational classes for home cooks, corporate team-building, and job training in the heart of the community.
Designed to bring inclusive economic mobility and workforce development to West Greenville, our innovative facilities are the result of more than $2.7 million in investments spearheaded by Ann Wright at the Greenville Tech Foundation and The Furman Co.
One of the chef instructors is a good friend of mine, Chef Bill Twaler.
