Now is an exciting time in our profession. Interest in food and cooking has never been stronger, and the growth in career opportunities and earning potential has followed suit. Who is leading the way? CIA graduates—as chefs, pastry chefs, restaurateurs, cookbook authors and food journalists, educators, media professionals and even several college presidents! They all have built their success on the foundation of skills and knowledge they acquired at the CIA— the same foundation that will start you down your chosen career path.
