A recipe for workforce development and economic growth

The region’s travel and tourism industry is the area’s number one economic driver. The industry competes on the national stage for an increasingly sophisticated culinary consumer. For our local industry to remain healthy and competitive, restaurants and resorts need a locally trained, professional culinary workforce.

  • The Culinary Institute of the South at Technical College of the Lowcountry is set to open in the fall of 2021 in Bluffton’s Buckwalter place with room for 300+ students.
  • The 30,000+ square-foot best-in-class culinary training facility will feature six academic classrooms; two teaching kitchens; one show kitchen, a baking lab; a lecture theater and a teaching restaurant.
  • Associate degrees and certificates in a variety of in-demand culinary disciplines and specializations will be offered.
  • The FOODseum, an interactive museum, will preserve and bring to life the true story of Southern food.
