NICHE WSU Tech's National Institute of Culinary and Hospitality Education (NICHE) in downtown ICT NICHE houses the WSU Tech Culinary Arts program.
(1)

The National Institute for Culinary and Hospitality Education (NICHE), managed by WSU Tech, is a multifaceted entity combining innovative curriculum with business operations to create synergistic learning outcomes for students and a highly skilled and passionate workforce that will not only benefit NICHE but Wichita itself. Our mission is to celebrate and enhance our culinary landscape and our fou

nding principles are sustainability, accessibility and innovation. Throughout their two-year associates program, our students receive over one thousand hours of culinary lab instruction (actual time in the kitchen). But in addition to this, all of our students have the opportunity to work in the Bistro, Food Hall, events and catering. The pressures and timing of a bustling kitchen or large-scale banquet are impossible to duplicate in a lab environment, which is why we consider this real-world experience to be essential in preparing them for the workforce. NICHE features an open to the public Food Hall as well as several rentable spaces throughout the facility including Henry's Place, the Event Center and Rooftop Terrace at NICHE.
