Careers in hospitality and tourism are found in a variety of places. Careers in the food industry may involve working directly with culinary staff, but often involves working with the public.

Some careers begin through on-the-job-training while in high school and others may combine on-the-job training with formal education at a technical college. Management positions may require a bachelor’s degree. All careers in hospitality and tourism are part of fast-paced environments and require stress tolerance, the ability to take direction, and self-motivation.

Sous Chef

A sous chef reports to an executive chef and is the second in command within a professional kitchen. A sous chef is responsible for food preparation and managing and scheduling kitchen staff, ordering supplies, and planning the menu. Sous chefs can work in a variety of locations ranging from small restaurant kitchens to cruise ships. After successfully completing high school, some students use on-the-job training and hard work to move from entry level kitchen jobs to sous chef positions. Formal education and training through a culinary program prepare a sous chef in all needed areas and offer additional training in sanitation, cooking, and management. If a sous chef aspires to be a head chef, formal training and experience will help reach that goal.
