Our mission is to upskill incumbent hospitality professionals, build new talent for the hospitality industry and place people into unionized career pathways through training programs which include registered apprenticeships.
UNITE HERE Chicago Hospitality Institute will not discriminate against apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEX (INCLUDING PREGNANCY AND GENDER IDENTITY), SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENETIC INFORMATION, OR BECAUSE THEY ARE AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A DISABILITY OR A PERSON 40 YEARS OLD OR OLDER.
UNITE HERE Chicago Hospitality Institute will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulation, part 30.
We recruit, train, and retain skilled employees and provide ongoing professional development and support to individuals in the Chicagoland area, who will deliver high quality guest services to our employer partners and to the public.
Attend an info-session at the UHCHI office, where you’ll get to learn more about the program, see the kitchen, meet your instructors, and be given a chance to fill out your application.
