About Us
WHAT WE BELIEVE - OUR PHILOSOPHY
What We Believe, Short:
We believe in the power of food and hospitality to transform young lives by creating career pathways for the next generation of sous chefs, executive chefs, hospitality workers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, and food entrepreneurs.
What We Believe, Long:
We believe in the power of food and hospitality to transform young lives.
We believe learning to cook is the first step in this journey. Culinary arts teaches problem-solving, creativity, innovation, time management, and analytical skills. Knowing how to boil water and cook an egg is not enough. True power comes in preparing, cooking, presenting, and serving a meal to others.
We believe confidence in the kitchen leads to confidence in the workplace, and that’s why we have been saying ‘Yes, Chef’ to young culinary hopefuls for nearly four decades.
Through our programs and vast network of industry partners, we are creating clear pathways for the next generation of sous chefs, executive chefs, hospitality workers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, and food entrepreneurs. "
We believe in building careers…
One student at a time.
One young chef at a time.
One opportunity at a time.
We are the Culinary Careers Program. We are C•CAP.
