Hatch HSV

Hatch participants train for all areas of our growing hospitality industry by participating in kitchen instruction time. Students will work with the executive chef in the kitchen as early as the second week of classes to hone their skills in the kitchen.they will be given the opportunity to work as busser, runner, server, host, dish, salad, prep and fry station preparing them for their future career. Students prepare and share two meals per day with the other students in the cohort. These meals, along with other group projects and kitchen competitions, teach teamwork and form bonds between students. Time is spent creating resumes, honing interview skills, and managing online social media presence so that each student can present the best possible version of themselves to potential employers. Hatch HSV received the donated use of a facilitiy for training use at a value of $60,000.

Financial literacy is a cornerstone of the Hatch program. Students are given a $1250 stipend as an incentive while participating in the program. By partnering with local banks, students are introduced to fundamental banking and budgeting skills to give them the ability to manage finances today and to build for a better future.
