[SNS 타임즈- LA] US Foods Scholars to Award Scholarships and Professional Development Opportunities to Students Pursuing Careers in the Culinary Arts

Launching in Chicago, the company will partner with the Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) to identify participating high school seniors who have demonstrated outstanding potential and achievement in the culinary arts and need additional resources to take the next step of their culinary journey. The program aims to inspire students to reach their full potential and contribute a meaningful solution to the talent shortage facing the restaurant industry.

“As the restaurant industry continues to surge with a forecast of 1.7 million new restaurant positions by 2025, there is an overwhelming need for skilled applicants1,” said Debra Ceffalio, senior director of corporate communications, US Foods. “US Foods Scholars is a way we can help the industry tackle a major challenge, and support our communities in a meaningful way, beginning right here in Chicago.”

“We are thrilled to have the support of US Foods. The US Foods Scholars program will have a lasting impact on these students who might not otherwise have the means and opportunity to pursue a career in the culinary arts,” said Karen Brosius, president of C-CAP. “As one of the country’s largest foodservice companies, US Foods will also be able to provide unique and valuable training opportunities for our students.”
