Job Description
Julia Child, James Beard, Alice Waters & Anthony Bourdain are all names you have probably heard of, & for good reason! They were some of our best teachers for those who aspire to develop a knack for cooking, baking, or just trying to make something edible that isn’t from a box. They taught America in their ways & for the right reasons– because they wanted to give back, help others become passionate about food & help us learn how to cook properly.
Do you want to be a part of the next generation of culinary excellence? Can you nurture the student’s passion & give pointers on their struggles? Are you able to focus on learners & demonstrate an investment in their dreams & future? This position is the opportunity to do just that for our students!
