Culinary Work Experience

The Culinary Transitional Work Experience program has two separate tracks: one is a 12-week program, and the other is a 24-week program that is called Parks 2 Work. Each program provides students an opportunity to learn a variety of skills in the field of culinary arts while focusing on behavior modification curriculum and activities to address their decision-making abilities that may affect job performance and retention. The program uses a hands-on approach, coupled with a series of performance assessments.

The Culinary Transitional Work Experience program will provide students with the necessary foundational skills to acquire an entry-level position in most commercial kitchens. Additionally, students who complete this training program will receive their three-year food handler certificate (SERV– SAFE).

Upon completion of the program, clients receive a culinary training certificate at their graduation ceremony. All training takes place in a professional culinary setting.
