If admitted to the program we will ask you to present your employment documents needed to complete the I9 form to ensure that you have the required items to move into employment. A record of these documents WILL NOT be kept-program staff will simply ensure you have what is needed for employment to ease the onboarding process once you are hired.
The Pacific Northwest Hospitality Training Program deeply believes in second chance hiring practices, and works with individuals from all walks of life and background circumstances. For transparency - we want to inform potential participants that most of our employment partners will do a background check- our program will also complete a background check to help best coach you through conversations with employers. Hospitality is about second chances—every shift is an opportunity to start fresh.

Physical Demands of the Prep Cook Job
Working in a commercial kitchen is physically demanding. It requires standing for long periods, often 8 hours per shift. Lifting up to 50 pounds, including pots, pans, and food supplies is common. Bending, stooping, and reaching frequently while prepping, cleaning, or retrieving items can be expected. You should plan on performing repetitive movements like chopping, stirring, and plating. The environment can be warm, especially near stoves and ovens, or cold when retrieving items from walk-in refrigerators or freezers. This role requires a sense of urgency and moving quickly between kitchen stations and storage areas. It will require you to hands and fingers with precision for tasks like slicing and assembling dishes. It is also important that you maintain awareness of safety, using sharp tools and hot equipment carefully.
The Prep Cook role requires handling of a range of food. Are you willing to handle and serve poultry, pork, beef, and dairy products?
