NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — McGavock High School students are getting hands-on experience in both culinary arts and business management through their food truck program called Raider Bites.
The program, which launched in recent months, teaches students everything from cooking and food preparation to financial management and customer service. Matthew Long, a student who serves as sous chef of the food truck, said the experience has prepared him for college and beyond.
"I'm not lost going into college," Long said. "I know what I want to do going in, because I've already done it for three years."
The food truck operates as part of a partnership with Intuit, the company behind TurboTax, QuickBooks and Credit Karma. Intuit provides the resources that make the program possible.
