In Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, tourism fuels 90% of the economy. This means that hospitality and culinary jobs make up the bulk of employment opportunities for local residents—but most young people start in entry-level dishwashing and housekeeping roles that barely pay enough to cover their basic needs. The best positions require specialized training like attending an expensive culinary school, and for young people with extremely limited economic resources, these programs are completely out of reach.
The Hands Offering Hope Culinary and Hospitality Institute is changing this story as an accredited, two-year program that trains young people in the culinary arts in the same region where students already live and work. Through professional training, strategic partnerships, relationships with global experts and world-class chefs, and extensive hands-on experience, the Culinary and Hospitality Institute is a valuable resource for young leaders in Mexico who are ready to pursue careers at leading restaurants, resorts, and hotels.
