Why should you use HAFP’s Food Service Job Training Project as a resource when
seeking employees?

Our graduates are well trained and ready for employment in the food service industry.

Our intensive twelve-week program includes training in the kitchen and life skills in the
classroom. The life skills portion of our class trains students in self-sufficiency, reliability,
responsibility, and how to be a valuable asset to any food service establishment. Our
students also get the hands-on experience of preparing and serving a six-course meal
for up to five hundred people everyday. Skills learned include knife techniques, menu
and recipe planning, and seasoning and spicing. Successful completion of our rigorous
program proves dedication and dependability!

Our training includes preparation for passing the ServSafe examination for safety and
sanitation in the kitchen.

There are possible tax break incentives for hiring one of our students. It depends on the
particular student but often times employers can get significant tax reductions for hiring
participants in our program. Just contact us for more information.

We provide continuous support: Our program doesn’t end after graduation. Lifetime
job-placement support and services are offered to all of our students, including
post-graduation workshops and training to boost skill levels.

Beneficial to the community: By assisting an individual on the road to self-sufficiency
and being involved with our program you are contributing to the fight to end hunger
and poverty in your community!

for new employees; hosting an internship or participating in master classes for HAFP
alumni are among some of the opportunities available to your business.
