Chef Nick Swanson, owner of Urban Field Pizza & Market in Longmont , is a training partner for the Colorado Restaurant Foundation’s Bridge Internship pilot program, which gives young professionals a look at careers in the restaurant industry before they become certified apprentices.
Bruszewski is one of 17 interns participating in the CRF’s bridge internship this summer. With this new pilot program, the foundation wanted to give young professionals a glimpse of what life could be like if they choose to pursue careers in hospitality. The goal is to help interns “dip a toe” in the water and see whether a career in food might be right for them, Griest says. Interns can choose their commitment level, signing up to work 120, 240 or 480 hours over the course of this summer .
Swanson has some serious culinary chops: After graduating with honors from the French Culinary Institute, he worked under prestigious chefs in top restaurants around the world. He’s even cooked for stars ranging from Nicole Kidman to Calvin Klein.
