From Passion to Profession: Are You Ready for a Culinary Career? 

Turning your love for food into a fulfilling profession is an exciting journey, one that begins with self-discovery, curiosity, and proper guidance. If you have ever imagined yourself in a professional kitchen, crafting dishes that tell a story, or building a future in hospitality, the first step is understanding whether a culinary career truly fits you. That is where Astoria Culinary and Hospitality Institute (Astoria-ACHI), a premier hospitality institute in Pasig City, comes in!   

Self-Reflection 

Take time to reflect on your values, interests, strengths, and personality. What excites you about food? Is it the creativity, the fast-paced environment, or the joy of serving others? Understanding what motivates you and what you naturally excel at can help you determine if a culinary path aligns with your long-term goals. With Astoria-ACHI, students are encouraged to explore their potential before stepping into professional training through our extensive On-the-Job Training Program (OJT), which immerses them in a professional and hands-on environment.  

Do Your Research 

A culinary career goes beyond cooking, it opens doors to opportunities in hotels, resorts, cruise lines, restaurants, and the wider tourism industry. Research different roles, required skills, and career growth possibilities. Learn about job expectations, industry trends, and the qualifications employers look for. If hospitality and tourism interest you, Astoria-ACHI offers industry-relevant programs for all students. Featuring seven (7) core programs for the students to choose from, there is always a perfect program for you!  

Seek the Right Guidance 

Enrolling in specialized courses and hands-on programs equips you with the technical skills, discipline, and confidence needed in the industry. Astoria-ACHI provides structured learning, career guidance, and access to resources that help students discover suitable career paths. Through mentoring, workshops, and practical experience, students are guided every step of the way!  

Embrace the Journey 

Choosing a career is not a one-time decision, for it is a journey of growth, learning, and discovery. Each step you take brings you closer to understanding what you truly want and where you are meant to be. With the right mindset and support system, your passion for food can evolve into a rewarding and sustainable profession.
