Is there a process for the provider/employer of record to give feedback to the participant on their progress toward meeting the training objective? Yes No Provide a brief explanation that describes how the provider focuses on moving participants promptly into regular, unsubsidized employment. Chef Ann Foundation encourages all Pre-Apprentices to continue into the Apprenticeship program, which can provide them with more experience, skills and ideally direct pathways to employment. Additionally, Pre- Apprentices may be more likely to be offered a school food position upon completion of the Pre- Apprenticeship program and can then go on to the Apprenticeship as an incumbent participant. Upon completion of the Apprenticeship program, participants are guaranteed an interview at one of Chef Ann Foundation’s host districts should they choose to apply for an open position. Employment opportunities in or near their host district are shared with all program participants. These opportunities may include positions based at an individual school such as Manager, Assistant Manager, Head Cook, School Nutrition Assistant, Dishwasher, Cashier and Driver, as well as opportunities at the District-level such as Food Services Director, Assistant Director, School Nutrition Coordinator, Head Chef, Central or Production Kitchen Manager, Warehouse Manager, and Administrative Assistant. A one-pager including brief descriptions of each of these positions, the national average compensation (compensation would likely be much higher for CA-specific roles), and how a career in school food becomes a pathway for career advancement will be submitted for review.
