I'm Kortney. I'm 19 and I'm in Culinary.
My name is Alicia. I'm 22. I'm in Culinary.
After high school, I was going to go to a community college.
I went to cosmetology school and I have student loans and student debt that I have to pay back so I'm not
having to pay back money for going to a
really good school that will get you a
career in life later on. That's more than anybody could ask for.
Job Corps just came to be my go-to route
because it was easier, it was free, and it
just helped my family a whole lot more.
I worked for a while but I was kind of lost, so I wanted to do something else, find a real career for me to get into.
My instructor, Chris, is so amazing. He helped me through a lot.
I could go on about the guy, but [laughs] I don't think he needs any more boasting then
he already gets. He's got the internships
going, he's got job fairs.
As long as you put in the work, chef Chris
will help you as many ways as he possibly
can. If you're having second doubts,
I'd say take a tour and figure out if
this is really the place you want to go.
I would definitely do your research and
then check out the place first. Meet your
instructors and take a tour. I
did that and then I came here and it's
been an immense help.
