Every spring ProStart students put their skills to the ultimate test at the statewide Oregon ProStart® Championships. Stakes are high as teams vie for scholarships, prizes and a trip to Washington, D.C. for the National ProStart Invitational.
High school teams from across Oregon compete in two distinct events:
- Management Competition - Teams develop a concept for a new restaurant and present it to judges from industry and post-secondary education. Evaluations based on concept, marketing strategies, menu, recipes and food costs, operations and critical thinking skills.
- Culinary Competition - Teams develop a unique menu for a 3-course meal, complete with recipes and food costs, and prepare that meal in 60 minutes using two butane burners—with no electricity or running water. They are evaluated on their menu, degree of difficulty, food safety and sanitation, knife skills, cooking procedures, food costing, teamwork, taste and presentation of their meal.

"ProStart students learn skills - such as teamwork, communication, and decision making - that are important to success in any career they choose to pursue. They also gain a tremendous amount of self-confidence. This event is their capstone project, and it is as exciting to watch as any sports tournament."
