Internships

Internship Program in Culinary Arts

In addition to classroom and lab experience, Suffolk's Culinary Arts and Baking & Pastry Arts programs include an Internship requirement to fully prepare students for entry into these fields.

The internship program is student-centered and based on the individual career goals of each student. With faculty guidance and with the supervision of a vetted industry mentor, student interns work 200 hours in a commercial establishment side-by-side with industry professionals to hone their skills. Students maintain daily work logs and receive feedback and formal evaluations from their workplace mentors. For many Suffolk students the internship is an entry point into a permanent employment position at the end of their program.

Our interns are sought out by some of the top restaurants, country clubs, catering facilities and bakeries on Long Island.
