"I may not be good at my studies, but that should not define me or my ability to succeed in life. I want to show others that there are other paths where I can still be successful in one day."
Charis completed the 6-week course successfully and attained the professional skill sets she needed to kickstart a career in this line. With the continued support and guidance from the Academy team upon graduation, she was also able to secure a suitable job that allowed her to pursue her passion.
She acknowledges “working in the kitchen may be challenging, but if one has the passion for it, one will enjoy the process. Being taught by patient and knowledgeable chefs has slowly helped to build confidence in myself and my culinary skills.”
Charis’ passion, perseverance, and discipline paid off. She has blossomed into a competent team member at a local bakery and has been entrusted to guide new staff. She is also currently pursuing a Diploma in Food Services (Culinary Arts).
