MISSION

 

 

"At CATP, dicing carrots is about working together.
Making a dish is about building a work ethic."

Barbara Hughes , Excecutive Chef
Project Renewal

 
 

The Culinary Arts Training Program produces job-ready culinary graduates who can bring a professional, dedicated attitude to the preparation of delicious food. 

CATP was established in 1995 by Project Renewal, a New York City organization dedicated to renewing the lives of low-income men and women who have suffered from substance abuse, homelessness and/or mental illness.

At the Culinary Arts Training Program, drug-free and stabilized individuals receive intensive culinary arts training combined with one-on-one support and employment counseling. Classes and services are provided free-of-charge to students.

Project Renewal’s support services for Culinary Arts students extend through their 12-week paid internship, graduation and the first year of employment.

Project Renewal may receive, per student, partial tuition reimbursement from vocational training sponsor agencies.
