"ARAMARK is a leader in professional services, providing award-winning food services, facilities management, and uniform and career apparel to health care institutions, universities and school districts, stadiums and arenas, and businesses around the world."
The above statement from the website of ARAMARK explains what this company does. It is known for its involvement in food services. The company does provide services to such locations as McHenry County Jail.
ARAMARK crated a job training program called IN2WORK that is being offered beginning November 1 to the inmates of McHenry County Jail. The specific program, I2W, is a 12 week program that ARAMARK Correctional Services created to help its clients provide non-violent offenders with valuable training and work experience in a commercial kitchen. There are three phases to this program which cover Kitchen Basics, Retail Basics, and ServSafe. After successful completion of coursework and all exams, participants in this program will receive ARAMARK and ServSafe certifications.
Shawn King, Food Service Director for ARAMARK, will provide the classroom instruction and supervise the students through the completion of their coursework and gaining experience in helping prepare the 1,500 meals prepared daily at the McHenry County jail. The first program will be offered to two to four participants.
Following successful completion of coursework and exams, the participants will receive ARAMARK and SafeServ certifications. The Sheriff's office recognizes the value the program will have on improving the ability of the individual inmate to turn the skills into gainful employment in the food industry.
