STEP FUND

The STEP Fund is proud to contribute to this local culture through high standards, industry partnerships, and wonderful students... As of January 1, 2021, the Food & Beverage Workers Union Local 23 & Employers Benefits Fund merged into the STEP Fund to provide continuing training and education benefits to eligible and qualified individuals. The STEP Fund is a joint labor/management program, and it is funded through contributions negotiated between UNITE-HERE Local 23 (and other locals/unions) and contributing employers, such as Sodexo, Aramark, CompassGroup, and I.L. Creations, in collective bargaining agreements... The STEP Fund's team has over 50 years combined experience in Education, Hospitality, and the Culinary Arts. Each person brings a unique perspective to the STEP Fund, but together they are committed to the mission and growth of the fund and to the continued success of each of our students.
