• Restaurant Entrepreneurship and Management (REM)
    The REM Program is transitioning to the  Business Entrepreneurship & Management (BE&M) program for the 2023-2024 school year. Find out more here!

    The REM Program is funded by a County Vocational School District Partnership Grant through the New Jersey Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical Education.  Other schools involved in the REM partnership grant include South Bound Brook School District, Watchung Hills Regional High School District and Raritan Valley Community College.

    The REM Program is a four-year career pathway emphasizing social, entrepreneurial, technical and academic skills, while preparing youth for employment, starting their own businesses and advancing their education in restaurant, culinary and catering management. Students will obtain fundamentals in Restaurant Management by learning industry best practices and progress to overseeing the TradeWins Restaurant at SCVTHS.  Students in the Program will be able to obtain industry recognized certifications and compete in local, state and national competitions.

    Students graduating from the REM Program will be prepared for immediate employment, post-secondary training, or continue their education in college in the hospitality related fields such as Food and Beverage Management or Business Management at Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC).  Students may also  exercise their entrepreneurial knowledge by starting their own restaurant or catering service. 

    Additional benefits of the Program include opportunities for internships and job shadowing to further enhance the students’ technical skills.  A summer bridge program will also be developed to transition middle school students into the REM high school program.
