I had to do research on accredited colleges and many of them aren't listed.
Art institute of Houston was not listed…and employers do recognize the school, entertainment industry does hire and use this facility for concerts and culinary purposes..
University of Phoenix recently got its accreditation, has classes, has a student base that struggles to get good jobs but does great once hired. Why are they not listed for accreditation???

The Art Institute of Houston is listed as accredited by SACS http://www.chea.org/search/actionInst.asp?CheaID=166636

University of Phoenix is listed as accredited by North Central. http://www.chea.org/search/actionInst.asp?CheaID=1404

Understand though, just because employers recognize a school or their graduates are employable doesn't mean the school is accredited. Just because employers don't recognize doesn't mean they're not accredited. Employer recognition and accreditation are two different things.

Also, Univ of Phoenix has been accredited by North Central Association since 1978. Their accreditation isn't recent. Contrary to public opinion, UoP is indeed regionally accredited. http://www.ncahlc.org/index.php?option=com_directory&Itemid=192&Action=ShowBasic&instid=1949

Recheck your research on that database. These were not difficult to look up. http://www.chea.org/search/default.asp

Hi,

I have always loved to cook and bake. I need to find a job and I thought so I would love to work for William Sonoma in Houston. I have never been to culinary school but I was wondering if…

Anyone had experience working in William Sonoma in Houston that they could share?
And

If I can't find a job at WS, where else would you suggest that I look , is there a similar atmosphere in Houston?

As always, help is very much appreciated.

Thank you
I have been cooking all of my life. I can cook/bake anything and I come up with new recipes all the time. I do not have any formal training though.

I am not looking for a career, I just wanted to know if there is any place in Houston like William Sonoma that is hiring. I have tried applying to William Sonoma but there are no available positions.

Thank you again everyone. I really appreciate your ideas and input

my friend I'm in the same boat, but i have the training and i still can't find a job. best that i can tell you is if you know someone try to see if you maybe able to get an entry level job that way you can work your way up. unfortunately I'm finding that it is true when they say it's not what you know, but WHO you know… GOOD LUCK

I'm only in 8th grade, but I've planned everything out. Once I go to my high school, I'm going to be in chorus, im going to take a cooking class, im going to be on the school radio station, and im going to take atleast one year of drama. I want to go into the Culinary Institute of America in New York. I'm also running for vice pres of student council for my school. My back up school i would want to go to is The Art Intitute in Houston TX. I'm going to try for scholoships. I've also been in creative writing and public speaking. Does this sound like good chances to get into those schools?

Sounds like you have a good plan. Keep your grades up and don't limit any opportunities. You may yet find another interest along the way that might take precedence over your current plan so it is always best to keep your options open. But, it is very good to have a plan now. It is easier to reach your goal if you plan ahead.

I would still take courses to qualify you for a regular university as well as your preferred schools. Other universities often have good art, film and writing programs. And, some have good culinary programs too. If a scholarship or grant is important, it is best to have a selection of schools to apply to. See who offers you the better deal.

If you are interested in art/writing, consider joining the school yearbook staff or school newspaper. The radio stations sounds like fun, too. Any would give you a good background in media and media production. Important things to know if you want to promote your own restaurant. The debate team or working as stage crew for a school play also gives you good experiences. But, alas, you can't do everything, so give you self some wide ranging experiences.

It is good to start talking to counselors early. Find out what types of scholarships are available and what is needed to apply for them. Some take essays, so the sooner you start learning about what types of scholarships are out there, the better chance you have to be prepared for them when the time comes.

The idea about checking to school websites to determine entry requirements is also an excellant idea.

Best of luck. And, don't forget to have fun too.
