Do

The food service industry is enjoying impressive growth

enterprises expand staffs to satisfy a public

re-discovered the art of fine dining. As a result, enrollment in culinary
schools is booming. Many of these institutions are fully
accredited and provide
graduates with internships and job
placement assistance.
Graduates are prepared to begin positions
such as a cook, apprentice chef or
kitchen manager working in
settings such as restaurants, bakeries, banquet
facilities,
hotels, resorts and cruise ships. Many graduates go on to pursue
career
opportunities in the following areas:
- Dietary
Cook
- Executive Chef
- Baking / Pastry Chef
- Catering
Management
- Restaurant Management
- Food Preparation
Management
Some chefs
and cooks go into business as caterers or personal chefs or they
open their own restaurant. Others become instructors in culinary
training
programs. A number of cooks and chefs advance to
executive chef positions or
food service management positions,
particularly in hotels, clubs, or larger, more
elegant
restaurants where they may oversee operations in a number of kitchens
or restaurants.
Whether you are interested in an entry-level
position or looking to improve your
culinary management skills -
you too can start a rewarding and high-paying
career in the food
service industry!
