Our Track Record

We Help Until You Are Hired

Upon graduation, the graduate may report to the job placement office for one-on-one assistance. Our Job Placement Director works very hard to help each student find the job they are looking for.

Chicago is the birthplace of some of America's most influential bar culture — from the jazz-club cocktails of the 1920s to the craft bartending revolution that transformed River North and Logan Square into destinations for national cocktail tourists.

The Process

How It Works

01

Upon graduation, the graduate reports to the job placement office for one-on-one assistance. Our placement director fills out a graduate profile card capturing your wants and needs.

02

Our placement director determines what type of bar you want to work at, recommends current openings, and calls students with new job openings as they come in to the school.

03

Bar owners and managers regularly call our school when they need a bartender. Our services are free to bars and restaurants — we work hard to help them meet their staffing goals.

04

Whether you want to work at a friendly neighborhood bar or the fanciest hot spot downtown, we'll try hard to find the right bar for you — until you are hired.
