Maryland ProStart

ProStart is the two-year career-building program for high school students. Whether students are looking to enter the job market directly after graduating, or if they plan to attend college, a ProStart graduate makes a solid candidate for success. 

ProStart students gain experience and recognition in several ways:

Classroom Experience
First, students learn fundamental culinary and management skills in the classroom. Classroom experience provides students with the important skills they will need for success in the industry. And many university hospitality programs accept ProStart courses for college credit.

Mentored Work Experience
Then ProStart students put that learning to work on the job in qualified foodservice operations with industry professionals. In their mentored work experience, students receive mentor support, character development and real-world skills that give them a head start toward a career in the industry.
