Alaska ProStart

Alaska ProStart ProStart is a nationwide, two-year program for high school students that develops the best and brightest talent into tomorrow’s foodservice leaders.

The ProStart® program, administered by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) and Alaska CHARR, is a two-year curriculum designed to teach high school students the management skills needed for a career in the restaurant and foodservice industry. Students also have the opportunity to participate in paid internships where industry managers mentor them. When students meet

academic standards, complete a checklist of competencies, and participate in at least 400 hours of a mentored work experience, they are awarded the ProStart National Certificate of Achievement that signifies they are well qualified to enter the industry workforce. A ProStart® college prep program accomplishes the following:

• Increases industry involvement through mentors and sponsors
• Strengthens educator-industry partnerships
• Attracts quality students to hospitality industry careers
• Allows students to participate in relevant work experiences while meeting the needs of the industry

TEAM ALASKA is headed to Baltimore!

Our ProStart students have earned the honor of representing Alaska at the National ProStart Invitational this April — competing against top culinary and management teams from across the country.

Now it’s our community’s turn to step in.

Travel from Alaska to the East Coast is no small journey, and we’re asking our hospitality family and friends to help send these students to Nationals.

Scan the QR code to donate and support Team Alaska.

Every gift, large or small, helps these students showcase their skills, represent our state, and continue building the future of Alaska’s hospitality industry.

When Alaska shows up, we show up t ogether.

Go Team Alaska and let's BRING THE HEAT!
