The International Foundation
Yesterday we shared with you that we were nominated to become an Eligible Bursary Centre for the City and Guilds International Foundation.
Started in 2010, this foundation focusses on community development and is a Bursary Scheme aimed at helping those from financially unprivileged backgrounds to complete a City and Guilds international qualification.
These bursaries pay for both the tuition and assessment fees, helping those who dream big accomplish their goals.
If the South African Chefs Training and Innovation Academy becomes an Eligible Bursary Centre, it will be able to submit a total of 5 bursary applications, from which the City and Guilds Panel will choose the most deserving candidate.
Those making the shortlist will be invited for an interview before any final decisions are made.
Candidates must live close to the Bursary Centre, have easy transport to and from the Centre and, most importantly, demonstrate that without tuition and assessment fees being paid for them, they would not be able to pursue a training programme.
This Foundation, especially in South Africa, means a great deal and the SA Chefs Training Academy will have the honour of helping a person on the road to becoming one of South Africa’s next top chefs.
