A Kingsborough Culinary Arts student at work

If you’ve ever watched Hell’s Kitchen or Top Chef and said to yourself, “I wish that was me” – this is your chance to develop some real culinary skills for free!

It goes without saying that our economy is in a difficult time. With so many qualified applicants flooding the job market, younger and less experienced job applicants can find the search daunting. If you’re not currently employed or a full-time student, then the CUNY Young Adult Program has a wonderful opportunity for you to add to your skill set and open up a career path. The program is providing free Food Service/Culinary Arts training to eligible people at KBCC. The program is being advertised via Facebook and [Craigslist](http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/fbh/1832222771.html?ref=bklyner.com) in an apparent bid to appeal directly to 18- to 24-year-olds.

We told you about [Kingsborough’s newly-launched Culinary Arts major ](/kingsborough-culinary-arts-program/)back in May. The new kitchens, expert faculty and innovative program make this a bargain for young adults.
