Overview Eligibility
If you have any questions about P.A.C.E. or would like an application, please call us!
75 Pineview Dr, Suite 200
P.A.C.E. (Prevocational And Community Experience)
How would you like to work in a bustling kitchen?
P.A.C.E. interns learn by doing: prepping, chopping, portioning, preparing simple recipes, baking brownies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, the ever-popular UB cookie and more. Through our collaboration with the University at Buffalo's Campus Dining and Shops, P.A.C.E. offers our interns real work experience.
This pre-vocational training program will help get you the necessary work experience and job skills to obtain a job. You'll also make great friends and coworkers too!
Prior to your shift, you will meet each morning with a Summit Employment Specialist to discuss practical employment skills such as calling in late or calling off of work. The Employment Specialist will also discuss broader soft-skill issues such as accepting feedback, self-advocacy, personal hygiene, and social skills. They'll be there throughout the day to answer any questions or issues that arise.
This opportunity provides you with an internship of up to one year, with the expectation that you will obtain employment within that time frame.
