The UNITE HERE Chicago Hospitality Institute’s Chef de Partie Culinary Apprenticeship provides aspiring cooks with the opportunity to develop their culinary skills in a professional kitchen environment.  This hands-on program is designed for individuals who are passionate about cooking and eager to learn.

 

Throughout the apprenticeship, participants will work under the guidance of experienced chefs, gaining practical experience in sautéing, fabrication, and sauce preparation.  The 8-week on-site training program includes classroom instruction, a kitchen lab, job readiness, interview preparation, and resume creation, followed by paid on-the-job training.  This portion of the training enables apprentices to learn techniques, flavor profiles, and food safety practices, and to apply them in real time.

 

In addition to culinary techniques, the program emphasizes teamwork and time management, equipping participants with the tools needed to advance their culinary careers.  By the end of the apprenticeship, participants will have the confidence and experience to pursue further culinary opportunities.

 

UHCHI is a great post-secondary option for recent grads, out-of-school youth aged 18-24, or for parents interested in a culinary career without incurring debt.

 

We are a WIOA-approved training provider, so our participants incur no financial responsibility.  We provide uniforms, slip-resistant shoe covers, textbooks, and transportation benefits.

State Leadership & Skills Conference View


View
Add to Calendar 6:00 PM 4/24/20267:00 PM America/Chicago State Leadership & Skills Conference

State Leadership & Skills Conferences are the pinnacle events SkillsUSA student members. Each year Illinois' best career and technical education students' heads to Peoria, IL to showcase their ability to enter the workforce. More than 5,000 individuals — including students, teachers, and business partners — are expected to participate in the multi-day event.

 

The high-energy festivities kick off on Thursday evening. Speakers deliver powerfully memorable inspiration for students to acknowledge the strength and possibility of their skills, embrace competition, and develop a deep sense of pride in their work.

 

The State Leadership & Skills Conference begins on Friday with students competing across 100+ career competitions designed to test their skills. Each competition is designed and run by representatives of respective industries, allowing students to gain a high degree of experience and insight. Afterwards, students are treated to a special social event for their hard work.

 

The involvement of industry in the SkillsUSA Illinois State Leadership & Skills Conference program is essential. Leadership, health, trade, industrial and technical experts donate their time to serve as contest judges and as technical committee members. They assume responsibility for selecting the skills to be judged, determining the format of the contests and establishing the standards by which the contestants will be judged.

 

The red jackets come out on Saturday as the conference ends with an “Olympic Style” Champions Ceremony. It is truly a sight to behold as students stand tall and proud of their accomplishment, connect with their future, and prepare to represent Illinois on the national stage.

View
Add to Calendar 1:00 PM 4/28/20262:00 PM America/Chicago The Voice of the Apprentice: A Panel on Illinois' Apprentice Ambassadors and Their Employers

Join Apprenticeship Illinois during National Apprenticeship Week for a panel discussion with this year's cohort of Apprentice Ambassadors and their employer sponsors. The Apprentice Ambassador program is an annual cohort housed under the Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship (WBLA) Committee of the Illinois Workforce Innovation Board (IWIB).

 

Each year, apprentices from across the state, representing a wide array of industries, are selected to give voice to the apprentice perspective and advocate the win-win model to businesses and other organizations. Each ambassador is sponsored by their employer and mentored by a member of the WBLA Committee. As part of this cohort, ambassadors have the opportunity to engage in professional development, networking, and public speaking. The program, in turn, provides them with professional development to equip them with the tools necessary to tell their story with a business engagement angle. 

 

Hear a few representatives from this year's cohort of ambassadors speak about their paths to apprenticeship and how it has improved their lives. Hear a few representatives of their employer sponsors speak to the return on investment that apprenticeships have generated for their enterprise.

 

To hear more of this year’s Apprentice Ambassador’s conversations with leaders in workforce development, business, and education, stream The Apprentice Perspective podcast on all streaming services.

Apprenti Answers: HR & Workforce View

Add to Calendar 12:00 PM 4/30/20261:00 PM America/Chicago Apprenti Answers: HR & Workforce
Human resources professionals are on the front lines of the workforce challenge — and more HR leaders are turning to registered apprenticeship as a structured, high-ROI talent development tool.

Today on the Apprenti Answers Podcast Special, we're joined by the SHRM Foundation for a live conversation designed specifically for HR and workforce development professionals. We'll cover how to build the internal business case for apprenticeship, what program sponsorship means for HR teams, and how Apprenti serves as a hands-on partner — not just an intermediary — throughout the process.
