If you know a youth age 18-24 please encourage them to apply for this “earn while you learn” 12-week CulinaryWorkforce Development Program. Preparation classes will be hosted on site atSwill by Blacksmiths (906 Washington Blvd.). The work training site is no other than Fresh at the Avenue located within the Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Market (1700Pennsylvania Ave). Graduates will gain 12-weeks of instruction from a Chef and restaurant owner with over a decade of culinary experience, gain on the job training, and sit for the ServSafe Manager Certification Exam.
Our goal is to help graduates find at least part-time employment at the conclusion of the program. Fresh at the Avenue, No Boundaries’ Fresh Produce Market and the adjacent “Test & Prep Kitchen” serves as the backdrop for this exciting program. There students can apply what they learn while interacting with the amazing residents of Central West Baltimore.
