Why Students should work at the cafe

The CafeWorking in the cafe can open your doors in more then just one way, the student’s that choose to take part of the cafe’s work force often walk away with money in there bank, Life skills, and in the mean while the student’s keep their grades up. When the cafe opened for the students to work at they went nuts. The YES program gave them the option to work at a real job on campus.The YES program offered minimum wage to the student’s who worked. As long as the student met the requirements he/she could work four hours a day, two hours before and two hours after school. So for once the student got to take in first hand knowledge of what the culinary work field had to offer. Some student’s liked to work there and enjoyed it while others despised it and only went to work to get the check. The cafe is there to provide the students with the job opportunity so the student may choose to continue this particular field of work.While working in the cafe the student’s may walk away with more then just a lot of money. The student gets the opportunity to work in a real job and learn what it takes to work there. The students learn everything associated with cooking from cleaning to food prep. He/she learns how to prepare, how to present the food, and most important how to cook the food. In today's society people don't have time to sit with there family and have a meal. A lot of Americans eat on the go and they will always need to be someone to cook for them. As johnny always says “People always need to eat”.There are certain guidelines that the student must follow in order to work, and the biggest requirement that is needed is the students grades. The student must have a 2.0 higher to work in the cafe. So that a student cant blame his/her poor grades on work. Because as soon as the YES program finds out that you have bad grades they put you on probation so you cant work until your grades get back up. So there for working in the cafe can give you good grades.Working in the cafe allows students at San Pasqual Academy to get paid, Obtain some key life skills, and even working in the cafe can boost your GPA. Who knew that working in the cafe can provide the student with so many things. The biggest thing that you can get from the cafe is a opportunity to check out culinary arts as a profession. Because who knows maybe you will like cooking and maybe you wont, But at the bear minimum the student gets paid.
