CALV Forward

The Culinary Academy of Las Vegas (CALV), founded in 1993, is a nationally recognized nonprofit providing licensed hospitality training in partnership with Culinary Workers Union Local 226, Bartenders Union Local 165, and 50+ major resorts. Culinary Union members have access to training as part of their negotiated benefit package. CALV offers hands-on training to help eligible members upskill and reskill for union positions in hospitality, all while working around their current schedules. Training takes place at CALV’s campus and in real service settings, giving students practical experience that translates directly to the job. CALV training certificates are recognized by employer partners as the equivalent of one year of work experience. CALV training programs include Professional Cook, Bar Porter/Bar Apprentice, Wine Server, House Person/Utility Porter, Fountain Worker/Barista, and Food Server/Bus Person. Programs are designed to build skills in food preparation, beverage service, guest interaction, dining room operations, hotel room operations, and facility support. Eligible members must be employed by a participating property and meet training benefit requirements. Most classes can be taken on days off and all training takes place at CALV’s campus. Classes are conducted in English. Location: 710 W Lake Mead Blvd, North Las Vegas, NV 89030 Phone: (702) 924-2105 Hours: Monday – Friday: 8am – 5pm Website: www.theculinaryacademy.org
