Where Do I Go From Here?
By Michael Ty, CEC, AAC
Soon you will graduate from an American Culinary
Federation Education
Foundation (
ACFEF)-accredited culinary
program. That puts
you squarely at the
crossroads and begs
the question, “ Where
do I go from here?”
There are many options.
You may want to continue
school, seeking more
advanced degrees. Or
maybe you plan to enter
the job market and
grow your leadership
and management skills.
Perhaps you are
considering working
with an international
organization so you can
learn a wide range of
skills and travel to new
places around the world.
