C-CAP Arizona’s final competition interviews give judges a chance to talk directly with students. Judges can learn more about each student’s expectations for both their education and their career.
It’s all about matching the scholarship dollars with the students’ dreams, says C-CAP Arizona director Jill Smith.
“We need to know that the students have given serious thought about how they’ll reach their career goals,” she says.
This means students need to be prepared not just to answer questions, but to have some questions for the interviewers.
For instance, C-CAP founder Richard Grausman is known as one of the top culinary educators in the country. He could probably assess culinary schools and programs across the country, both in terms of overall approach and in what students in those programs are known for.
As placement director for the Arizona Culinary Institute, Chef Glenn Humphrey is well-versed on current expectations culinary schools have for students.
As a graduate of The Art Institute, Jill has first-hand experience with that program – and the kinds of positions graduates go on to have as they set out in the culinary world.
