ST. JOSEPH CENTER'S CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAM - APPLY NOW TO QUALIFY FOR FREE PROGRAM - VENICE - IMPRESS YOUR CASE MANAGER

We found this flyer at SOVA and decided to call and see if the program is still going on.  It is, and we think anyone who is staying at a shelter that can promise you that you can stay until you are in the program, the ten weeks it takes to get through the program, and then the externship and job search, should apply.

To qualify...  You must be at least 18, be unemployed or underemployed,  be physically able to stand, move, bend, twist, and kneel and comfortably lift 50 pounds.  MUST HAVE A TB TEST CERTIFIED WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, read and write in English. Criminal background : No violent crimes, sexual assault, terrorist or arson threats, no identity theft, or warrants outstanding...  (TIME TO CLEAN UP THOSE TICKETS WITH TRAFFIC COURT... Check out our TRAFFIC COURT LINKS! Use the GOOGLE SEARCH feature embedded in this blog!)

THERE IS NO TUITION.  YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A CHEF UNIFORM.  THIS IS NOT ABOUT FLIPPING BURGERS...  YOU WILL LEARN CLASSICAL FRENCH COOKING

(The shelter sure could use some help in the kitchen !)
310 - 396- 6468  X 355 to apply.  CALL FIRST.

You will be interviewed.  Upcoming start date is February 25th 2013,  Then April 22 2013, then June 10 2013.

YOU WILL REALLY IMPRESS (ANY DECENT HUUMAN BEING) CASE MANAGER!

ST JOSEPHS   "Students have the opportunity to complete a kitchen practicum at our Bread and Roses Café. The externship, conducted in the renowned kitchens of some of the Westside's best restaurants, provides students who may have little employment history with recent work experience and professional references (please see below for a list of some of our externship partners). All classes are provided free of charge to participants and include such supportive services as case management and pantry enrollment.
