CCA is a great school, and you're a great dad for paying his way. Which program did he take? I assume that he's already established a good rapport with their placement services staff. What do they say about different cities' needs? Is he willing to relocate? Has he tried ChefJobsNetwork.com? They're a part of Escoffier Online, and they also have discussion forums where he can network a bit and maybe make a contact or two. > BTW, speaking of your son being a chef, what kind of knives does he use? Yeah, what's his brand and line? I'm a Henckels Professional "S" man myself. When I was a kid I cut my teeth on my parents' Sabatier high carbons, but they were too lightweight in the blade and the handles were way too small for me even as a kid. I kept them razor sharp for the parentals. They take a hell of an edge, though (even if they lose it just as quickly). German Henckels blades are heavier than the French Sabatiers, but the handle style is like a larger version of the Sabatier, so it fits me better. I only mention this because your son might benefit from a personal knife fitting. I damn-near drop knives that don't suit me just perfectly, so his coordination problem might be attributed to cutlery that doesn't suit him well. His height and natural degree of force may also be a factor. A professionally-guided change of footwear and cutlery might make all the difference in the world. Ben, I hope everything works out for you, your son, and the rest of your family. Let us know how you guys are getting along. The very best of luck to you all.
