Impact Culinary Training Details
Impact Culinary Training Background

The program was created through a partnership between Chef Rick Bayless and the Industrial Council of Nearwest Chicago (ICNC) and The Hatchery Chicago with support from Allies for Community Business, the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, the Illinois Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, and Conagra.
