National Apprenticeship Week
Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week across Restaurants, Foodservice and Hospitality
The restaurant industry is full of exciting, innovative and lifelong careers, available for millions of people with a passion for hospitality. With the growth and expansion of restaurant apprenticeships, thousands of restaurant workers are learning on-the-job, advancing their careers into higher paying positions and getting paid while doing so.
Through the U.S. Department of Labor’s National Apprenticeship Week, the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation is celebrating supporting the next generation of restaurant and foodservice leaders and growing their careers to take them to the next level.
Each day this week, we’re showcasing a different path to apprenticeship across restaurants, foodservice and hospitality: from today’s restaurant workers, to high school students looking to start their first jobs, to military veterans looking for a career after their transition, the next generation has access to apprenticeship programs to support their career development and professional growth.
