Culinary Artistas Apprenticeship Program

As Project Manager, I created and launched the Culinary Artistas Apprenticeship program. Tasked with developing a culinary educator training program to support employee retention, I developed a year long program working closely with Culinary Artista's education, marketing, and web team. The program, now it it's third year consist of a speaker series made up of 12 culinary masters, a mentorship program tailored to individual participants, and a calendar of high quality industry events. Within this three month project, I lead the programs team to launch and market the new apprenticeship, leading to a full cohort and full guest speaker lineup. I also worked closely with their web team by providing Figma wireframes for a resource portal and a landing page for the team to handle the backend of the website using my designed sub-brand guides. On the marketing side, I developed campaign strategies for in person and digital marketing while creating a program announcement article and various social and web graphics. Ultimately, the program has seen increasingly qualified candidates, high applicant rates, consistent employment and volunteer guest speaker turn out.
