This training program leads directly and quickly to employment. For that reason, we want to ask you a pre-screening question to ensure you can move directly from training to employment. Are you eligible to work in the United States?
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. You can find information about what the government requires for I9 forms here: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9. Do you have full, complete, and unexpired I9 documents?
Physical Demands of Hospitality Jobs

Hospitality jobs are physically intensive. These roles require standing for long periods, often eight hours per shift. Lifting up to 50 pounds, including pots, pans, and food supplies is common or pushing/pulling the cleaning cart is required. Bending, stooping, kneeling, walking and reaching frequently while prepping, cleaning, or retrieving items can be expected. You should plan on performing repetitive movements. The environment can be warm or cold. This role requires a sense of urgency and moving quickly. It will require you to hands and fingers with precision for tasks. It is also important that you maintain awareness of safety. These roles require using your eyes to pay attention to small details.
I am able to meet the physical demands of hospitality jobs.

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.
