JOB PLACEMENT
The Institute's Career Services Department offers job placement and networking services to students and alumni.
During our students' first week at school, they meet with a representative of our Career Services Department. It's at this time that the department outlines its extensive job placement and networking services for students and alumni. Throughout their education, students benefit from a full range of services that assist in beginning a career in the food business: job fairs, in-house workshops and career development seminars on such diverse topics as restaurant management, food writing and starting a catering business. During individual advisement sessions, our advisors offer assistance in résumé writing, interview skills, and professional development. Part-time paid and volunteer opportunities with chefs and other food professionals are also available to students during their studies.

As graduation nears, our Career Services Department works closely with students and employers to match skills, goals and personalities. For example, some students may wish to work in a bustling, highly-regarded restaurant, while others may prefer an artisanal bread bakery. And because the doors of our Career Services Department are open to all alumni regardelss of when they've graduated, they are assured personal assistance throughout their careers.

Additionally, through our established network of graduates, chefs and culinary contacts throughout the country, I.C.E. has developed a comprehensive job bank, and its listings are e-mailed to graduates weekly. The listings include everything from entry-level to advanced positions as well as business opportunities.
