INTERNSHIPS / JOB OPPORTUNITIES

At the Culinary Academy, as part of our 600-hour and 900-hour cooking programs, we offer externships that place you directly in the field. This unique experience allows our students to get hands-on training in a real-life situation. Our students can find themselves in restaurants, catering halls, corporate dining rooms and other locations. Our education department has carefully structured each externship so that each student gets the most from it. Once the student has completed the externship program, they know what the culinary world is like, and are prepared for a good paying job upon graduation.
