ProStart is the best start for our industry's future.
One of the most rewarding initiatives taken by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) is the ProStart program. This is the career-building program that benefits high school students, teachers, program coordinators and partners.
Classroom instruction and on-site experience come together to form the cornerstone of the ProStart program. This exciting and highly practical educational experience is precisely the start our future leaders and managers need. And it's working for nearly 54,000 student participants in more than 1,300 schools, across 47 states, territories and districts.
The goal of the ProStart program is to teach both culinary essentials AND basic foodservice management, preparing students to fill the need of skilled managers within our industry. With this strategy, employers can expect our students to have a broad range of experience within the industry - making them a valuable asset to any operation.

Whether our students are looking to enter the job market directly after high school, or if they plan to attend college, a ProStart student is a solid candidate for success. ProStart students have the experience of learning the restaurant and foodservice industry in the classroom, as well as participating in internships with qualified foodservice operations, while receiving first-hand training from mentors. Back in the classroom, lessons and activities come alive as students make real world connections.
With the ProStart program, students get the chance to see just how bright their future in the restaurant and foodservice can be, and with the benefits of making that commitment at the high school level. Who wouldn't want to hire a current or former ProStart student?
