We were honored to be a part of St Vincent de Paul North Idaho Souport The End of Homelessness event today at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds! 🍁🍲

Our North Idaho College Culinary Arts team created a delicious Butternut Squash Soup that captured all the warmth of the season, and it was an absolute hit! Volunteers from our CTE team were excited to share information about our North Idaho College Career and Technical Education programs and offerings with attendees.

The Souport event brings together local organizations or groups to serve up their best soups, while the community comes out to taste, vote for their favorites, and support an important cause. Every dollar raised helps provide emergency shelter, the St. Vincent Warming Center, housing programs, and essential care for our neighbors navigating homelessness and crisis.

A huge thank you to all who were involved today, to our volunteers who staffed the table and served soup to hundreds of people, to the Culinary students and instructors who created the recipe and made enough soup to feed everyone, and to the folks who attended and supported this incredible cause! ❤

From passion to profession, hear firsthand what it’s really like to turn a love of cooking into a career through our Culinary Arts Sous Chef Apprenticeship Program. 🧑‍🍳

We recently visited our Sous Chef Apprentices working at the Coeur d'Alene Casino, and we got the chance to talk to them about how this program has helped them succeed on their career journey.

If you are interested in pursuing a career in the Culinary Arts and enjoy hands-on, applied learning, the Sous Chef Apprenticeship might be the perfect fit for you:

• Earn While You Learn in a paid position, building real-world kitchen experience.
• 1 Day a Week on Campus for hands-on lab training. We work around your busy schedule!
• American Culinary Federation exam eligibility after graduation to earn your Certified Sous Chef credential.
