In this week’s episode of the Restaurant RockStars Podcast, I’m speaking with Ms. Amy Saltzman, Director of Pro-Start at the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.

Pro-Start trains students in both the culinary and management sides of the business. The program teaches them life skills – responsibility, teamwork, time management and professionalism.
