  • A student enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in a Culinary or Pastry Arts Program. (Kalahari is a Certified Externship Site for CIA externs).
  • A student enrolled in a culinary or pastry arts program at a community college or university.
  • No formal schooling but has at least one year of experience in a commercial kitchen or restaurant. Someone seeking hands-on work experience and gaining invaluable industry knowledge.

Kalahari's Culinary Intern program is typically a minimum of 12 weeks but can be customized according to curriculum requirements.
We view this experience as a chance for you to showcase your talents and to make a positive difference. Successful interns will be strongly considered to remain with the company after graduation.
We accept applications year-round for our Culinary Internship Program.
