Stone Soup PDX is a non-profit foodservice training enterprise based in Portland. It provides workforce development and hands-on culinary expertise to people at risk of homelessness. As an Employment Social Enterprise, Stone Soup PDX not only trains people for careers in the food hospitality industry, they support that training by selling the food they make. Their three main enterprise lines are Contract Meals, Catering, and Retail Soup.
Stone Soup PDX’s training program includes:
'''Workforce Development''' A critical part of Stone Soup PDX’s program and the development of their participants comes from the ability to work together as a team. Their Workforce and Interpersonal Skills Education (WISE) modules help participants learn communication, conflict resolution and teamwork.
As part of the 12-week course, each participant works within the WISE courses to learn:
* Resume & Cover Letter Writing
* Working as a Team
* Conflict Resolution
* SMART Goals
* Elevator Speech
* Interview Skills
* Financial Literacy
* Self Care, Self Confidence & Resilience
'''Culinary Skills''' Stone Soup PDX has developed a 12-week basic Culinary Training Program, including a Food Handler Certification, as well as Food Production training. Classes are small and offer individual coaching.
Participants in their culinary program gain a basic understanding of kitchen safety, fundamental cooking methods and techniques, kitchen and restaurant dynamics and their roles in the food preparation process. Their Chef Trainers design projects that trainees can accomplish to build self-confidence while they evaluate participant strengths and guide them in improving on perceived weaknesses. They also partner with other restaurants and catering facilities to offer additional training opportunities.
'''Customer Service''' In their Customer Service module program participants are guided through the pillars of customer service in the restaurant and hospitality industry. They learn how to consistently offer quality service in a genuine way. This involves treating both guests and fellow employees with respect and dignity. The end result is fostering customer loyalty in any business which they choose to work.
'''Job Placement NetWork''' This is a group of foodservice businesses interested in hiring Stone Soup alumni. This network ensures their program participants will have ample opportunities for job interviews and job placements. Stone Soup PDX staff continues to be in touch with all graduates, providing information about open positions within the Job Placement Network. The goal of the alumni network is to provide participants with mentorship opportunities to help them through any challenges.
Stone Soup PDX also networks with shelter kitchens, local restaurant groups, and catering operations to identify employment opportunities with the potential for more sustainable employment.

* 18 years of age or older
* Having some form of housing (this can include shelter, transitional housing, etc.)
