 Hi George,

You can also try the VESL/Workplace Clearinghouse on the OTAN web site,
www.otan.us. You will have to register if you aren't registered already, but
there is no cost. Click on OTAN Resources on the left side menu, then
Reference Libraries, then VESL/Workplace Clearinghouse.

Hi George,

I know that there is at least one resource in the Workforce Education 
Special Collection that is for food service training.  Go to the
Workforce 
Collection at http://worklink.coe.utk.edu/, choose "workforce
instructors" 
in the right navigation bar, go to the resources under the question
"What 
are some examples of workforce education curricula/lesson plans?" and 
choose the "Steps to Employment" resource. "Enter" the site, and choose
the 
"steps manuals" button at the top.  It will take you to all the areas
they 
have developed curriculum for, and "Food Service Trades & Occupations"
is 
one of the many that you can choose.  Please feel free to contact me if
you 
need further help.
