This includes: food handling certificate, job readiness skills, food preparation, equipment identification, knife skills, recipe development, product identification, storage, cooking methods, and nutrition.
Who is eligible to apply for the training?
Any young adults age 16-24, who are interested in a culinary or food service career. No prior training or degree is necessary. Young adults with backgrounds can apply and will be considered.
How much does it cost?
There is no cost for the training, as the tuition is paid for by our donors. There is however, a $25 refundable fee for materials and a commitment of time and dedication required to complete the course.
