Oregon Coast Culinary Institute

While Students spend many hours in the teaching kitchens mastering their culinary, pastry and baking skills, having practical experience in the culinary industry helps make you more marketable when you start looking for your first professional culinary position.

The OCCI faculty work closely with each student that has completed his or her course work to refer them to appropriate externship opportunities. The extensive professional network of our chef instructors help our students to secure outstanding externship placements and jobs upon graduation.

Throughout the OCCI program, students are constantly taught the expectations of the culinary industry and how to be culinary professionals. They are held to a high standard of attendance, conduct, safety, cleanliness and professional appearance. These skills and knowledge are crucial when students interview for externships and jobs and help OCCI students stand out from the competition.

Our students have secured envious externships in world reknowned resorts such as Mar-A-Largo, (Palm Beach, FL), Sheraton Resort, (Maui, HI) Bandon Dunes Resort, (OR), and other exotic locations.
