Advisory Committee #

Detroit Institute of Gastronomy systematically seeks program guidance and support from an advisory committee made up of representatives from education, industry and human resources.  The committee’s opinion is a basis for evaluating and improving curricula, instructional materials, method of delivery, as well as the discovery of alternate student learning experiences and student services. The Committee’s support aids in the development of sponsoring apprenticeship sites, apprenticeship placement, recruitment of qualified instructors, and support of student satisfaction.   DIG regularly collects evidence that students are satisfied with the administrative, educational, and support services provided.
