PBS graduates work across a wide geographic footprint, from Baltimore to Richmond and everywhere in between. In the DC area alone, graduates include Tamika Bryant at the DC Convention Center, Allen Parker at the Holiday Inn in Alexandria, David Pardo at Uno's at Union Station, and Tahira Bell at Qdoba in Reagan Airport. Other employers include LOVE Nightclub, Sutra in Adams Morgan, FedEx Field, Congressional Country Club, J. Paul's in Georgetown, and congressional events on Capitol Hill.
That range reflects the versatility of the training. Whether you want to work in a high-volume airport bar, a fine dining restaurant, or private events for government clients, the 40-hour PBS program prepares you for all of it. Our placement assistance covers the entire Mid-Atlantic region.
The key advantage of training in the DC metro area is access. This region has one of the densest concentrations of restaurants, bars, hotels, and event venues on the East Coast. Graduating from a school with deep roots in this market gives you a meaningful head start.
