Scholarships
Many of our students dream of attending culinary school, but lack the means to make it possible. C-CAP is proud to run the largest independent culinary/hospitality scholarship program in the country, allowing these students to further their education without incurring unmanageable debt.

Apprenticeships
C-CAP is one of the few Nationally Registered Apprenticeship Intermediaries with the Department of Labor. We source, train and mentor students for one-year paid apprenticeships with hospitality and culinary employers across the country. Want more information? Contact Jill Smith on our staff.

Lifetime Career Guidance
Once you’re in C-CAP, you’re in C-CAP for life!

To support our students and alumni as they climb the career ladder, we host career exploration events, such as job shadows, financial and business guidance, chef panels, field trips, and community networking events. Additionally, we are expanding our alumni scholarship opportunities. Our alumni have the chance to study in France, embark on a culinary experience with acclaimed chefs in Japan or Spain, and further their education.

Our Mission
Long co-chaired by chef Marcus Samuelsson, Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) is a workforce development nonprofit that provides underserved teens a pathway to success.

Annually, C-CAP provides culinary, job and life skills to over 20,000 middle-and-high school students in seven regions across the United States: New York City, Newark, Philadelphia and Camden, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington DC/Maryland/Northern Virginia and Arizona.

This 31-year-old nonprofit founded by Richard Grausman strives to help further food and social justice, as well as equity and inclusion by providing tools for success. Starting in middle schools, we provide culinary-and-wellness curriculum, and in high schools also provide an integrated approach to employment in the food sector via internships/apprenticeships, job shadows, mentorship, and work opportunities, college and career advising, and higher-education scholarships, along with product and food donations. The success of our alumni is proof of our methodology and the work we have done. To date, we have worked with 350,000 students and awarded $64 million in scholarships. C-CAP has transformed thousands of lives in a meaningful way. The urgency to help these diverse communities has never been more critical.
