"The Career Discovery program was an amazing experience that gave me the opportunity to meet other aspiring chefs my age who loved food just as much as I did. I also got an inside look at how dedicated the school is to teaching students as much as possible about the food industry—all in three short days!"

| 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! |
