The SVdP Kitchen of Champions Culinary Program is a hands-on employment training program. The program helps prepare people for fair-wage positions in the food and hospitality industry.
The Kitchen of Champions program provides classroom and hands-on training, workforce readiness basics, case management and job placement. Students in the training program get real-world practice, working under a master chef and helping prepare the meals served at the SVdP Free Dining Room.
SVdP is building partnerships with employers such as Levy Restaurants, Revolution Foods, Bellanico Restaurant and Picán Restaurant to place qualified candidates after graduation from culinary training.
In its first full year of operation, the Kitchen of Champions graduated 70 individuals. Nearly two-thirds of those graduates are working today.
