Eleven More Culinary Arts Graduates March 2005 From homelessness and desperation, through training and life skills courses, to graduation as line chefs is the success story of ten men and one woman this week at The Cooperative Feeding Program. In a fine example of community collaboration, The Cooperative Feeding Program, Love Thy Neighbor, Broward Community College and the McFatter Technical Center team together to train homeless men and women to become successful chefs.  Developed and spearheaded by Arnold Abbott, this nine-week accredited course teaches food preparation for auxiliary cooks and line chefs. The formerly homeless students who were selected for the course have the option to continue their training at the McFatter Technical Center. Also included in this unique course are life skills classes, helping these formerly marginalized men and women to have a new chance at life with a job. One hundred and four men and women have graduated from the Culinary Arts Course in its 18 months of operation. The cost per student for the 9 week course is $1,000, including uniform and all materials. The cost to society of not providing such training is far higher...
