Would you like to host field trip opportunities for local culinary and hospitality students? The CT Hospitality Educational Foundations wants to help match businesses in Connecticut with local high schools teaching the culinary and restaurant management ProStart Program. Our goal is to match at least one field trip per confirmed ProStart school each academic year and we need your help to make this happen!

The ProStart Program reaches over 3,000 students at 20+ high schools in Connecticut. Students learn culinary and restaurant management basics, ready to move on to the next level of hospitality employment and education when they complete the program. Now it's your turn to show them what the hospitality industry looks like outside of the classroom!
