Preparing the next generation of industry leaders is a community endeavor at Cascade Culinary Institute (CCI). Elevation, CCI’s student operated restaurant, serves as the capstone course for students and an opportunity for community members to enjoy sustainable cuisine with a farm-to-table emphasis.

Student learning outcomes in Elevation focus on developing confidence in cooking and service techniques, effective communication skills, and teamwork, as students prepare for a transition to their career path in the hospitality industry.
