Success Stories

"Working in the food service industry is fast paced, but I like it!"

Tasha

Mark, Tasha's teacher at Fed Cap is very knowledgeable.  Tasha's learning important stuff that she'll use everyday.  

All she had to do was work with her VRC at VESID, her TLC at Manhattan School for Career Development and follow the Steps to Success to get a placement at Fed Cap, a vocational training program.

Tasha loves making desserts and wants to make that her specialty.  Her internship at the New York University student cafeteria is preparing her for this by allowing her to assist the chef in making cookies and desserts.  After she finishes training, she'll be assisted by Fed Cap in finding a job.
