Dear Washington-area Food Blogger:
It’s no secret that with 13 million people working in foodservice, the industry is one of the largest private-sector employers in the United States, and—according to the National Restaurant Association—is expected to add another 1.8 million jobs over the next decade. Anyone considering a career as a chef, baker, or other foodservice industry leader should attend The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) Admissions reception in Washington, DC.
The Admissions reception will be held at the JW Marriott Hotel, 1331 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, on Monday, October 25 at 6:30 p.m. Aspiring culinarians will have the opportunity to meet CIA representatives and learn about the college’s range of degree programs, educational benefits, and scholarship opportunities. The evening will be hosted by CIA alumnus John Huppman ’78, executive chef at the JW Marriott Hotel.
Despite the economy, foodservice continues to be a major growth industry, and interest in culinary careers is rising among both career changers and “traditional” college students. Food Jobs, a 2009 World Cookbook Award-winning book by CIA instructor Irena Chalmers, describes 150 career options in various segments of the foodservice industry. Graduates hold prestigious positions in a variety of careers. In addition to being top chefs, pastry chefs, and bakers, CIA alumni are leaders in catering, research and development, education, food styling, food journalism, and many other food-related fields.
