STUDENTS at the Kwakwani Student Hostel will soon benefit from nutrient-balanced, high-quality meals as five employees are set to receive certification in Commercial Food Preparation from the Board of Industrial Training (BIT).
The trainees, currently employed as cooks and assistant cooks at the hostel, are among 10 women undergoing skills development training under the guidance of Ms. Janine Wong.
The trainees expressed their enthusiasm and gratitude to BIT officials, highlighting the value of the knowledge and skills gained from the program. “We are excited about this opportunity as it will enable us to prepare better meals for the students,” said one of the trainees.
In addition to the Commercial Food Preparation program, another group of ten trainees in Kwakwani is participating in an Interior Design course taught by Ms. Michell Simeon. Both training programs are hosted at the Kwakwani Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC).
The certification initiative is part of BIT’s broader efforts to enhance vocational skills and improve community services in the region. By equipping hostel staff with professional cooking skills, the program aims to ensure that students receive nutritious and well-prepared meals, contributing to their overall well-being and academic success.
