INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS
The FCAS Restaurant Internship program caters to individuals aspiring to work in Italian restaurants, those already working as chefs, individuals with ambitions to open their own restaurant in the future, and those aiming to pursue roles such as food coordinator or gourmet reporter.
Our network of collaborating restaurants encompasses a diverse range, including traditional restaurants, pizza establishments (“pizzeria”), gelato shops (“gelateria”), pastry shops, and family-owned restaurants.
The internship duration ranges from 4 to 10 months, and depending on your chosen period, there is an option to intern in multiple restaurants.
After completing the 2-month Italian Cuisine Professional Chef Training, numerous students aspiring to become professional chefs opt to participate in the Restaurant Internship program. This allows them to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course, gain practical experience, and establish valuable connections in the culinary industry.
Here are three strengths of FCAS Internship programs:
1 – Practical Skills to Stand Out
Our internship program is designed to cultivate practical skills that set participants apart. In contrast to conventional internships that often involve students in routine part-time tasks, our program integrates progressively challenging roles with increased responsibilities. This approach is an integral part of our educational program. Beyond refining skills in real restaurant environments, the program also offers valuable opportunities to build a professional network within the industry.
2 – Intensive Italian Classes
Given that all communication within the restaurant occurs in Italian, a sufficient level of proficiency in the language is essential for the restaurant internship. If you possess prior experience working in a restaurant in your home country and choose not to enroll in the Chef training course, which incorporates Italian language lessons, you have the option to independently study Italian for the required duration before commencing the internship.
3 – Collaborating with more than 100 Tuscan restaurants
Given that all communication within the restaurant occurs in Italian, a sufficient level of proficiency in the language is essential for the restaurant internship. If you possess prior experience working in a restaurant in your home country and choose not to enroll in the Chef training course, which incorporates Italian language lessons, you have the option to independently study Italian for the required duration before commencing the internship.
Should you decide to change your internship, please be aware of the € 400 change registration fee applicable for each alteration. While gaining experience in a single location is beneficial, we also encourage interns to consider changing their placement every four months. This provides an opportunity to experience the diverse benefits offered by different workplaces, such as various restaurants. The decision should align with your preferences and goals.
For the second and subsequent internships, the responsibility of selecting and finalizing your internship destination will rest on your shoulders.
