CIA Career Discovery

Discover Your Future

If you love cooking and baking, then come do something that could set the course for the rest of your life! Apply for Career Discovery for High School Students at The Culinary Institute of America's Hyde Park, NY campus and get a taste of what it's like to be a CIA student. You'll also learn about career opportunities in the dynamic foodservice and hospitality industry, the largest private employer in the nation.

This program is designed for high school students who will be entering their junior or senior year by July, are at least 16 years of age, are considering a culinary career, and meet admissions requirements for the CIA's degree programs.

A Hands-On Exploration

You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Work in a CIA kitchen with the guidance of our acclaimed chef-instructors
  • Attend and participate in cooking demonstrations, lectures, and hands-on production
  • Learn about the wide range of opportunities in the foodservice and hospitality industry

PARENTS: Career Discovery is an Exciting Opportunity for You, Too!

Take a road trip with your aspiring culinarian as he or she embarks on an exciting future in the world of food. A parent or legal guardian must accompany the student to Hyde Park for the program. This gives you a great chance to bond with your child and share in this life-changing experience.

You're encouraged to join your student at all events except hands-on classes, and to participate in the voluntary activities we're offering during those student-only events. Just please be sure to pick up your student at the end of the day's programs, and to chaperone him/her at the hotel and other off-campus locations.

We're delighted that you're taking a look at The Culinary Institute of America, and hope to welcome you to campus soon for Career Discovery!
