ESSEX, MD—Atlas Restaurant Group’s corporate chef, Chef Aaron Taylor, met with 30 Eastern Tech students interested in the culinary and hospitality industries on November 19.

The following day, 40 Eastern Tech juniors participated in a “Grow the Trades” event sponsored by Stanley Black & Decker and DEWALT. These students are interested in pursuing careers in the building trades or in engineering design.
