Andrea Keating graduated from GRCC’s Secchia Institute for Culinary Education in 2012, but in some ways, it’s like she never left!
Keating works for Steelcase’s Eurest Division of Compass group, which provides food service and support services around the world. While her company’s reach is global, her ties to SICE are all around her: She works with 10 other GRCC culinary graduates.
“These people have phenomenal skills, ambition and creativity — most of it learned through their education at Secchia,” she said. “It’s a top-notch program, and I see the results daily in the strength of our staff here at Steelcase.”
Keating added: “These people have taken the culinary program at Steelcase to the next level , and we are developing a great reputation in the community. It’s my goal to be one of the premier employers in West Michigan for culinary talent, and we have an excellent start.”
