OCCI students recently got the opportunity to spend some time with one of Rational's Corporate Chefs, as part of their Partners In Education (PIE) Program.

Students and Faculty were educated on all of the extra amazing functions that the Rational combi oven could do. As part of the education, students assisted the Chef in making various dishes with the oven, and learning programming and cleaning functions as well.

OCCI is happy to partner with Rational as it provides a great benefit to our students!

"Since I was in elementary school I’ve found myself exploring in the kitchen and loving the art that is food creation. My high school culinary program helped that hobby bloom into a passion, I fell in love and now I want to learn as much as I can and make a career for myself out of that passion." - Marley, Culinary Vision Scholarship Recipient
