From Passion to Profit: Building a Career & Business in Food & Hospitality

Are you a student who loves food, cooking, baking, events, restaurants, cafés, or hospitality but you’re not sure how to turn that interest into income? Or maybe you already have a small food business but struggle with getting customers, pricing your products, marketing, or growing beyond occasional orders?

This workshop is for you!

The Student Hospitality Workshop 2026 is designed to help students discover the many opportunities available in the food and hospitality industry and learn how to turn their skills and ideas into real businesses, careers, and additional streams of income.

You’ll learn how to start and grow a food business, build a brand, attract customers, price your products, create content that sells, and manage your business more effectively.

But it doesn’t stop at food sales.

We’ll also explore other ways students can make money within hospitality from catering, baking and meal prep to restaurants, cafés, event management, hospitality operations, food content creation, private chef services and more.

Whether you’re starting with an idea, already running a small business, or simply looking for a profitable skill and career path, this workshop will show you what’s possible and how to take your first step.

Come with your ideas. Leave with possibilities, practical knowledge, and a clearer direction for building your future in hospitality.
