Earn While You Learn.
Building a Career in the Restaurant Industry.
The National Restaurant Association Education Foundation (NRAEF) apprenticeship programs provide both new and current restaurant and foodservice employees the opportunity to advance their careers and move into high paying line cook and management positions. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, apprenticeship is a win-win for both the employee and their company.
The Restaurant Association of Maryland Education Foundation (RAMEF) has two different apprenticeships to place students in. The Youth Apprenticeship Program (ages 17-24), will hire students from culinary programs in high school, college or the post-grad level for the line cook apprenticeship or the management apprenticeship (must be 18 years of age). The Adult Apprenticeship Program will hire individuals for line cook and/or management apprenticeship positions. Learn more about each program below.

How It Works
|
In partnership with employers of all sizes, apprentices participate in a competency-based program involving
on-the-job training and traditional classroom work. As each skill and competency is mastered, apprentices advance in the program until all competencies are documented and completed. Depending on the ability, experience of the apprentice, and the number of hours worked the program takes approximately two years to complete. |
