Students are hired for internships by qualified food service operations. They receive firsthand training and worksite mentors. In the classroom, lessons and activities are used to help students make real-world connections. Practical, lively learning takes place both on the job and in the classroom.

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
