“My training in the CC Pearce Culinary School directly led to my employment at some of Greenville's top restaurants, including Woodside Bistro, Maestro's Bistro and Dinner Club, and the Farehouse. Ultimately, my experience with Project Host provided me with a career path and financial stability I couldn't have imagined before the program.”

“When I started at the Project Host culinary school, I had left the workforce to be a stay-at-home mom and was unemployed. The most valuable thing for me was to be able to receive basic training and job skills for free. The whole experience was a learning experience, but to have that opportunity given to me without having to pay—because as an adult education is no longer free—that was great.”

“I feel like I’ve gone from a cook to a chef. I’ve learned how to cut properly, including basic techniques and which knives to use for which food. I’ve also learned basic, simple, new, healthy recipes that I can take and perfect.”

“Right after I completed the Project Host culinary school, I went and applied for a business license to start a catering business. I catered all the way up until my kids were in school, and I’m still doing it on and off. Now I just got a job in food service with the Greenville County School District. They wanted to know if I had experience with commercial equipment, and I was able to tell them, yes, I had gotten that experience at Project Host.”

Testimonials
“I entered the culinary school after retiring, thinking I would learn some basic skills, and in the end I got a job at Christ Church. I would have never had the connection to the church had it not been for Project Host, but now everything has come full circle. I learned what Project Host was doing for the community when I was in the culinary school, and now my work at Christ Church has been an extension of that experience. it's been very rewarding.”

“The culinary school gives people an opportunity to better themselves and gives them the self-esteem to go and look for something that they might be interested in. I have nothing but good things to say from working with the Soup Kitchen to the program working with kids—it’s amazing.”
