In the October issue of Total Food Service, Culinary Careers Program Founder Richard Grausman reflects on more than 55 years in culinary education and training — from his early days studying in Paris to the workforce challenges facing today’s food and hospitality industry.

He addresses how Culinary Careers Program is helping rebuild the apprenticeship model through structured, paid career pathways that give young people hands-on training while helping employers develop the next generation of talent.

Today, Culinary Careers Program is a Registered Apprenticeship sponsor with Department of Labor-approved tracks in culinary arts, baking, and front-of-house service, with apprentices mentored throughout their first year on the job.

From Culinary Careers Program student to scholarship recipient, chef mentor, and now C•CAP staff member, Chef Jenna D’Agostino’s journey has come full circle. ❤️

We’re thrilled to welcome Jenna as a Culinary Trainer with Culinary Careers Program in Arizona, where she’ll support the teachers and students following a path she knows firsthand.

Jenna was a Top 10 C•CAP junior before earning a scholarship to Scottsdale Community College, where she received her associate degree in culinary arts. She went on to spend six years at the Country Club at DC Ranch, teach culinary arts at Paradise Valley High School, and launch her own private chef business, Lua & Lemons Local Chef Services.

Over the years, Jenna has volunteered at our events and competitions, served as a judge and member of our Arizona Advisory Council, and returned as a chef mentor at Harvest Moon Feast. This year marks Jenna’s third year mentoring C•CAP students at Harvest Moon Feast and her first as an official member of our team! ✨

Join Jenna and 30+ of Arizona’s top chefs as they team up with C•CAP students and schools to cook up an unforgettable evening under the Harvest Moon on October 23 at The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. 🎟️ Get your tickets today, link in bio.

Meet Chef Kevin Curtis, Culinary Teacher at Highland High School in Gilbert, Arizona. 

Culinary Careers Program teachers bring our program to life inside public high schools, connecting students with C•CAP opportunities, mentoring them, and helping turn what they learn in the classroom into real pathways in food and hospitality.

As students head back to school, here’s what Chef Curtis tells them from day one: “If they have a good work ethic, a good attitude, they can do almost anything. You throw passion in there, and they can really make some waves.”

We’re grateful for teachers like Chef Curtis who show up for their students every day and help us build the next generation of culinary and hospitality professionals. ❤️

Houston, thank you for an unforgettable welcome! ❤️

This week, we officially launched Culinary Careers Program in Houston with a special evening at Bar Bludorn, bringing together chefs, hospitality leaders, supporters, and friends around a shared goal: building careers for Houston’s public high school students while strengthening the pipeline of talent into the city’s restaurant and hospitality industry.

Guests enjoyed an incredible dinner from three of Houston’s finest: Chef Aaron Bludorn of Bar Bludorn and C•CAP Houston Advisory Council Chair, Chef Nick Wong of Agnes and Sherman, and Chef Leonard Botello IV of Truth BBQ.

A huge thank you to Billy Harris and Ombrello Group for helping bring this evening to life; to the entire Bar Bludorn team for hosting us so generously; and to TOR Wines and S.Pellegrino for keeping our glasses full throughout the night. 🥂

Culinary Careers Program partners with public schools to equip under-resourced students with culinary education, job training, scholarships, internships, mentorship, and paid apprenticeships. As we grow in Houston, we’re working alongside local schools and industry partners to give students the skills, experience, and connections to turn an interest in food and hospitality into a career.

Finally, thank you to everyone who joined us and invested in what we’re building in Houston. This is just the beginning. ❤️
