Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College - Employment

Internships
		Become An Approved Internship Site We are always happy to welcome new mentors committed to the standards of excellence and hospitality of The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. Becoming a mentor and an Approved Internship Site involves an application process and site visit to ensure that all of our sites are up to the standards of The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. Accepting an intern into your business is a serious responsibility that should be carefully considered before taking that step. Mentoring an intern is a special relationship of teacher and student that is very important to the long-term success of that student. All interns, regardless of how much experience they bring to your worksite, require the supervision of an appropriately trained manager or chef. Interns have special needs: flexible schedules, mandatory hour requirements, the added stress of classes, and occasionally other jobs. We welcome the opportunities you bring to The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College and we want you to understand that an intern is not 'just another employee'. Interns have made a commitment to learn and work in the hospitality industry; they have made a commitment to The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College to complete their education, and they have made a commitment to themselves to select good mentors to help them to achieve to their highest potential. If you have what it takes to be a good mentor, we welcome your application to become an Approved Internship Site.
