Faulty Parallelism
Can you anyone suggest how I can fix this sentence?
See example:
Johnny applied to, interviewed for, and was accepted into the Acme Food Service Training Program.

You have mixed active and passive voice in your verb list. You'll have to change the structure to make this work. While active voice is generally preferred, I think it would work well in this sentence. Here's an example, but it is awkward.
After applying and interviewing for the Acme Food Service Training Program, Johnny was accepted.
Here's another example in active voice.
The Acme Food Service Training Program accepted Johnny after his application and interview.
