How A City Program Helps Young NYers Find A Future In Cooking

The Leonard Lopate Show | Nov 16, 2017

Stage NYC is a program that helps unemployed and underemployed young New Yorkers get a foot in the door in the culinary industry. Gregg Bishop is the Small Business Services Commissioner and he started the program. He joins us along with Chef Herve Malivert, Director of Culinary Arts & Technology at the International Culinary Center, and Sherve Simeon, who went through the program and now works at Osteria Morini. 

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
