Young chefs in the UAE hospitality industry will now get a chance to apply for an annual scholarship programme launched by the International Centre for Culinary Arts (ICCA).
The Dh1 million continuing education award was announced on Sunday during a press conference in Knowledge Village by the Emirates Culinary Guild (ECG), World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) and City and Guilds London.
The aim of the initiative is to train and certify talented but financially constrained young chefs in the UAE hospitality industry and to also create future opportunities for these chefs as the hospitality industry keeps growing.
With the increase in tourism and new projects, the demand for a skilled workforce to support the region’s rapid economic expansion has never been greater, explained Sunjeh Raja, director and CEO of ICCA, at the press conference.
