Meet Your Team

From guiding you through the application process, to teaching you the professional and personal skills you need to succeed, to working with you to help you complete the program and finding a great job after you’re done, our team is all about you.

 

We’ve Got Your Back

FoodWorks students learn to bring home the bacon from a support team that includes:

  • Executive Chefs and Culinary Training Staff: Our team of professionals will guide you through kitchen, food safety, cooking, and prep skills training, all with helpful career pointers from those who have been there before.
  • Job Placement Advisors and Case Managers: Your FoodWorks training goes beyond the kitchen with workforce development staff who assist with job placement before and after graduation. Case managers help you be your best, by providing holistic support and removing barriers to your success.
