Restaurant Youth Registered Apprenticeship. (RYRA) Like many people, I started working in the industry in a dish room. My son just started at a place we love, doing the same. I asked him how he felt after his first shift. He said he liked it, and specifically he mentioned he has a good manager and trainer. Many of us Gen Xers learned what we know now - through the informal mentorship of chefs and managers. Back at the turn of the century, I wish 17-year-old David had understood apprenticeship and that it was an option. Instead I put my head down and started washing dishes, and it was the beginning of a fantastic journey. There is so much supported professional development available for newcomers to the industry in 2024. Apprenticeships are also available to people who have enjoyed successful employment and want to add formalized knowledge, skills, and abilities to their craft. Apprenticeships provide access to information and education that propels people up the ladders of promotion and economic mobility. We know this. Apprenticeships are cool like that. Line Cook?

So a previous post I shared stated 650k unfilled jobs exist in the construction industry. According to the United States Department of Labor, that number appears to be at least 500k jobs. It's time parents talk to their kids about well paying options beside college, like the many apprenticeship programs that exist. Talk to your kids and then help them find thier passion. You might just find they might be interested in the skilled trades if they knew they could have a fulfilling career.
