About ProStart®: Learning to succeed
What ProStart is.
ProStart is a nationwide, two-year high school program that unites the classroom and industry to develop the best and brightest talent into tomorrow’s restaurant and foodservice leaders.
Why ProStart matters.
The restaurant industry is expected to add 1.3 million jobs over the next decade, with employment reaching 14 million by 2021. That includes an 11%-plus growth in management positions.
But ProStart is answering the challenge. It’s already working for 90,000 students in more than 1,700 schools across 47 states with additional programs in Guam and U.S. Military bases. Five years after earning the ProStart National Certificate of Achievement and competing in the National ProStart Invitational, 81 and 78 percent of students, respectively, are still studying and/or working in the industry.
Who ProStart benefits.
ProStart is an excellent career starter for high school students, an exciting teaching opportunity for educators, a truly rewarding experience for ProStart Coordinators, a chance to share practical knowledge for mentors, and a smart investment in the future for ProStart partners.
How ProStart comes together.
Our students, educators, state restaurant association ProStart Coordinators, mentors and corporate partners all play a vital role in the success of ProStart.
