Chef School Enrollments Rising?
An article in Newsday covers the recent increase in cooking school enrollments in the New York City/Connecticut area. One school has seen an enrollment increase of 45% in the past three years, while another has tripled in size since 2000. Students and faculty alike credit the ubiquity of cooking shows (and entire networks, like the Food Network) for the boost:
"[Culinary student] Senita Brown said Food Network television chefs like Rachel Ray, who hosts '30-Minute Meals' and Jamie Oliver of 'The Naked Chef' motivated her... Local culinary schools say the star power of celebrity chefs may be driving an enrollment surge and culinary schools across the state and region."
It's not just TV that's raising the visibility of the profession -- a nationwide increase in new restaurant openings has led directly to an increase in the number of openings for chefs. The Connecticut Department of Labor even suggests that, as the economy improves, one in every five jobs created in the state through 2005 will be in the restaurant or hotel industry.
