Institute for Global Studies students have apprenticed with award-winning chefs and worked in a café that specializes in weekend brunches and award-winning pastries. In Auckland, an IGS student wanted to learn barista skills and was trained in that service. Baristas are often the first face a customer sees in a restaurant. It takes competence to earn a manager's trust to be the face of the restaurant. The IGS student got that trust and earned accolades. Working alongside a chef and restaurant staff provides insight into both the business and local culture. These restaurants are frequented by regulars, making weekends quite an experience. IGS works with students who desire to go into the restaurant industry and those who want to try something different. This Restaurant Work internship is a perfect way to meet locals and observe a community from the inside out.
