South Side Mission's Culinary Arts Training School is getting some great ink these days.
Under the direction of Chef Chris Franzoni, the program is a 13 week, five-days-a-week, six-hours-a-day school that takes unemployed and underemployed people and trains them to be sous-chefs and kitchen managers. This is not a minimum-wage job training program. Graduates can qualify for living wage jobs, paying $10 and hour or more.
As of April 2009, our graduates can be found working in prestigious kitchens throughout central Illinois. The Saucier at Embassy Suites is one of our grads, as is the Head Chef at Basta in Morton. The Executive Chef (third shift) in the executive dining room at the Morton Caterpillar plant is one of our grads. Culinary Arts Training School graduates fill roles in the nursing home industry, hotel industry, and restaurants in the area.
Thanks be to God for blessing this exciting ministry and those it serves.
