Jim Trebbien
Director - Institute for the Culinary Arts.
Jim is a humble individual who takes pride in running the ICA program at Metro. Because of his contribution, the program has become successful locally and has even gained national attention. Students currently attend from different states because of what they have heard about the program!
I caught Jim taking a stroll through the sage bistro kitchen area, where he popped in to talk to students who were preparing meals for some important guest.
Thanks Jim, you will always have our trust and respect!
Chef Brian O’Malley
Chef – Instructor, Institute for the Culinary Arts
Chef O’Malley was my first instructor when I started the program at Metro. He helped me corral my thoughts and energy in the beginning, so that I could focus on a clear path that would lead to success. I didn’t really understand all of the advice he was offering at the time but I trusted him. Today, I am very clear about the direction I must take in order to make an impact in the hospitality industry. It is never about the money in this business, it’s always about the people and the community.
Thanks for taking the time to teach me that Chef O’Malley, its great advice!
