As the thought leader for the food world, the CIA develops and delivers vital initiatives through strong partnerships with education and industry leaders such as Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Marriott, Compass Group, and Hestan. CIA-led conferences, invitational retreats, collaboratives, annual reports, and digital media help foodservice professionals guide the next wave of change crucial to the industry. Many leading companies and organizations—Google, PepsiCo, and Unilever to name just a few—turn to CIA Consulting for business solutions and custom continuing education programs for food professionals. And the college’s exclusive, supportive network of 50,000+ alumni leads every segment of the food world and often looks to hire fellow grads.
