Shared from: @withlovecatandtheia 🙌 "In order to continue our sustainability mission, we first had to make sure that WE, as a business, were sustainable… and for the last five weeks, that’s what we’ve been doing! If you noticed that we’ve been a little quieter than usual lately, that’s because we’ve been working hard both in and out of the kitchen! We were incredibly fortunate to have been accepted into the rigorous six week Entrepreneur Empowerment Program from @culinaryconcepts_ab and, under the mentorship and guidance of @chefantwonbrinson, we have learned SO much about ourselves, our business, and our dreams. As we prepare to “graduate” next week, we’re also getting ready to roll out some big changes. We are still COMMITTED to using high quality ingredients, offering diverse Asian-inspired flavors, and creating products WITH LOVE, but we will now be able to do so with efficiency! With Love, Cat & Theia has always been a labor of pure love and we can’t wait to share our progress with you and reveal what changes are coming!

We want to give a HUGE thanks to the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau for sponsoring the upgrade of our students' knife toolkits! 🔪 All of our #GoCook graduates receive their very own knife set upon graduation, setting them up for success as they begin their culinary careers. It’s more than just a gift; it’s the first step toward a bright future in the kitchen! ☝️ Thank you, CACVB, for supporting the next generation of culinary professionals! 🙌 #ReachOneTeachOne #CulinaryConceptsAB #FutureChefs #CulinaryJourney #CommunitySupport #Partnership #ChefLife

This is what it’s all about! 🙌 Our students have overcome personal challenges, self-doubt, and SO much new info during our 6-week training bootcamp to make it to graduation day 🎓 It’s amazing to watch them grow and push themselves to the finish line.
