Employer Testimonials

“YES was instrumental in assisting us with a candidate we thought was right for the job, but lacked the formal training needed. With the support of YES we were able to hire an expert in the field and provide one-on-one chef training for our head chef who has literally been transformed from a transient job-hopper to a serious head chef who has shown incredible leadership and organizational skills. YES not only saved our new business, YES gave this 26 year old the chance of a lifetime to run his own kitchen, without having to spend 10 years climbing the ranks. I highly recommend YES to anyone starting a new business.”

Our Clients' Success Stories

Passion for Fashion offers an opportunity first to educate yourself, secondly to meet peers and mentors with the same goals and interests to your own, a supportive environment, and finally a chance to further develop your business! I thoroughly enjoyed the Passion for Fashion, thanks to all the mentors and volunteers for continuing to make it happen! I have since begun to develop my online business, considered how to market and design my up coming season, and solidify my business strategy. The Passion for Fashion has raised industry awareness of my brand and provided ample amounts of support and resources to bring my product to the market with confidence and professionalism.
