Apprentice Curriculum |
WOW’s comprehensive culinary program teaches food-service fundamentals in a supportive, hands-on and team-based environment. The program consists of the following components:
- Kitchen training
- Front house operations
- Catering & food-related micro-businesses
- Life skills development
- Sustainable farming & food sourcing
| Through this program, apprentices acquire valuable, marketable skills in food preparation, professional-level cooking, catering, and small business management. We hold our apprentices to the highest standard of excellence and, for many, this is the first time such standards have been set. At Worth Our Weight, we truly believe that young people rise to meet our expectations. |
| Apprentices also take culinary field trips to conferences, culinary competitions, and other culinary educational programs. These trips expose our apprentices to the world, outside of their often limited range of experiences. By taking them out of a familiar environment, we seek to change the way they think about the world, and our hope is to expand their sense of what is possible for them. |
