Culinary Arts Education on the Rise in Nebraska
A recent report by the Omaha World-Herald found that enrollment in Nebraska cooking schools is on the rise, partly due to outreach programs in local high schools and a national fascination with cooking television shows. Culinary arts programs allow students of all skill levels to specialize their training for the restaurant, hotel, and catering world.
State-Wide Culinary Employment Remains Healthy
Over 81,000 workers are employed in Nebraska's leisure and hospitality industry, which includes culinary positions such as restaurant management, catering, and cooking. The state's unemployment average is slightly below the national average, at 3.2%. Nebraska's rock-bottom cost of living ranks it the fifth lowest in the nation.
Graduates of Nebraska's culinary arts schools might have the best career prospects in larger cities such as Omaha and Lincoln. According to Salary.com, executive chefs in Omaha earn anywhere between $59,500 and $93,000 annually. While no restaurant or culinary institute can guarantee a particular career or wage, hiring managers in these competitive fields often prefer prior training and education.
Omaha Restaurants Provide Options to Diners, Chefs
Locals around Omaha love dining out at area favorites like Valentino's, Great Harvest Bread, and Upstream Brewing Company. These local spots double as possible career options for trained chefs interested in baking, line prep, and executive chef duties, along with restaurant management graduates.
