At the same time, they work with the HR team
for a series of mock interviews. Finally, each
culinary student prepares and executes a
plated entrée of 10 portions, along with taking a
75-question written exam. Those who complete
the program come away with the skills to
succeed.
" The training gave me the tools and abilities to
advance in my career, teaching me not only to
prepare exquisite dishes but also to understand
the importance of presentation, flavor and
quality, " said Porfirio Uribe, one of the program's
students. " It allowed me to explore my creativity
in the kitchen and learn to work efficiently in
high-demand environments. "
Recruitment and retention
UC Davis has a commitment to staff development.
More than 90 percent of employees say they won't quit if they get
development opportunities, and employees at organizations with
internal mobility stay twice as long, according to LinkedIn. Providing
on-the-job training for employees does more than boost morale-it
also increases employee satisfaction and retention. UC Davis's goal
with the program is to give staff the opportunity to fulfill their career
goals by providing them with a unique, hands-on, classroom setting
that sets them up for success.
While most culinary training programs require staff to leave their
current job and shadow the new job, UC Davis provides a unique
safety net where culinary students don't lose their previous jobs if
they don't complete the training or
are not promoted to a cook position.
Most culinary students who were
not promoted in the classes of 2022
and 2023 are still employed in their
current positions.
UC Davis Director of Residential
Dining Operations Felipe Becerra
said the program has given staff
the confidence to apply for the
promotional opportunities available
to them.
" The training program has allowed
the dining team to invest in the
growth and development of our staff
by providing them with the tools
necessary to succeed, " Becerra said.
Culinary students are invited and
encouraged to apply for any open
cook position at UC Davis as soon as
they graduate, or they can wait until
UC Davis's twice-a-year career fair,
where they can learn about various
advancement opportunities.

students started and completed the
culinary training program, and 10
culinary students were promoted
to cooks after receiving their
certificates. For the class of 2023,
