Arizona C-Cap really starts cooking

What’s C-CAP?

Started in 1990 by cookbook author and educator Richard Grausman, the Careers through Culinary Arts Program works with public schools to help students find career opportunities in the restaurant and hospitality industry. With around 200 high schools participating in the program, nearly $30 million in scholarships has been awarded since the program’s inception.

Besides scholarships, C-CAP provides participating high school culinary programs with needed supplies, and offers training and curriculum programs through cooking competitions, teacher training, job shadowing, job training, internships, college advising and career guidance.

Currently, C-CAP operates in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Hampton Roads, Va., Washington, D.C., Prince Georges Count, Md., and throughout the state of Arizona.
