A New Beginning for Our Culinary Graduates

by | Jul 2, 2025 | Teach

We are excited to share that on Thursday, June 26, 2025, we celebrated the graduation of the latest class from the Culinary Apprenticeship Program (CAP), a partnership between Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and Goodwill Industries of Eastern North Carolina. 

This program provides more than culinary skills. It opens doors to stable careers by offering hands-on training, mentorship, and professional development. Through hard work and determination, our students have gained the tools they need to succeed. 

We are especially proud to share that our graduates are already set to begin new jobs in the culinary industry the week after graduation. Their dedication has paid off, and we look forward to seeing them apply their talents and grow in their new roles. 

Please help us congratulate: 

Andre Cleveland Sr.
Janae Johnson
Brenda Celeste Taylor
Derick Taylor
Decorba White 

We are especially grateful for our community, partners, and our CAP instructor, Lori Jones.  Thank you for all of the time, resources, and encouragement you have invested in this program. Together, we are creating pathways to success and building stronger, healthier communities. 

Congratulations to our graduates! We are proud of everything you have accomplished and excited to see the impact you will make in the culinary world.
