Upon completing the program, clients have the opportunity to take the ServSafe certification exam. Those who pass receive a ServSafe certificate, a nationally recognized credential that significantly enhances their job prospects in the restaurant and hospitality industries. Many of our Culinary Arts graduates go on to secure employment at prominent local restaurants, turning their training into meaningful careers.​

 

By equipping clients with the tools, credentials, and confidence needed to pursue employment, the program provides a clear pathway to long-term stability and self-sufficiency as part of their recovery journey.
