Tony Degazon Regional Manager | Middle East and North Africa City & Guilds – Believe you can. Industry Impact The Hospitality Industry with its ever-changing and evolving nature is constantly in need of trained talent that can deliver consistently under pressure. With a standard that keeps elevating, it is very important to make sure that the people managing the operations & production are up to date with the right technical knowledge & skills to keep up to the level of performance expected of them. The Scholarship class this year was double the usual numbers, which effectively means that the industry has so many more trained chefs now as against the numbers planned earlier. The Scholarship program has been successful in training all the aspiring chefs to the level of professionalism that the industry demands of them. This not only serves to maintain the pulse of the industry, but it also serves to make a difference to the lives touched through the program. The knowledge, experience & expertise shared with the deserving chefs gives a boost not only to their careers & dreams; it also boosts the industry skills environment to an all-new level.
