It has been immensely satisfying to see them grow through the course and having an enhanced understanding of classical cooking techniques, as those selected lacked formal education in the field. Equally rewarding, especially since there were two cohorts to manage, is to see the results as the new graduates are now ready to take up greater responsibilities, propelling them to a new level of professional growth. We wish them a good and fulfilling career ahead!
