Youth Employment & Culinary Training

Jay's Gourmet proudly leads The Gourmet Initiative, a program designed to provide high school students with paid employment and hands-on culinary training. Through active participation at concession stands and catered events, students gain valuable skills in food preparation, customer service, and event logistics. This initiative not only fosters real-world experience but also encourages responsibility, teamwork, and confidence in a dynamic food service environment.

All participants are onboarded with full payroll support, including direct deposit options and proper tax documentation. By combining professional development with mentorship, Jay’s Gourmet ensures that youth participants are prepared for future opportunities in hospitality and beyond. This commitment reflects the company's dedication to youth empowerment and community upliftment.
