Sponsorship in Action

ProStart student in kitchen

Quinn Loughton

"ProStart gave me an opportunity to study hospitality in a supportive team of equally dedicated individuals. It prepared me for a higher education in hospitality by enabling me to work and study in an environment comparable to the real world industry. Even long after graduation, I still carry forward what I learned in ProStart as a foundation for my current and future career aspirations."

ProStart student culinary training

Delaney Knight

"ProStart provided me with a strong foundation in the hospitality industry. Through the Restaurant Management Competition, I gained real-world experience and opportunities that I would not have been able to access through any other program. Now, as a Hospitality Management major at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I continue to excel as a student because of the knowledge and skills I developed through ProStart."

Ashton Osbhar

"ProStart has taught me that leadership isn't about being in charge - it's about supporting your team, communicating clearly, and staying strong when things don't go as planned. Over the past four years, I've learned how to covercome challenges and rise to every opportunity."
