Computer and Culinary Training for all ages

• Computer Training. This centre provides a learning environment with access to computer equipment, office applications and the Internet. Youths and young adults gain the needed computer skills for success. They are now able to secure better jobs. Our training facility offer new opportunities for youths and young adults to become computer literate. They are now viable and competitive in the market place. They progress in their careers and rise above poverty. They contribute to national development. Computer technology is advancing faster than ever before. Knowing how to properly use a computer and navigate the digital terrain will help youths to keep life organized and streamlined.
• Culinary arts training. Students have hands-on training with professional chefs, learning to develop and prepare six complete meals, resulting in a certification that can be used on job applications and resumes.
• Food Handling program. In the restaurant industry, one person with this kind of training must be on duty at all times. Participants learn basic health and safety standards which makes them competitive in the employment market.
• Real-world experience. Participants who excel in the programs are also given the opportunity to participate in training and dinner preparation at top class hotels in Durban. We partner with Tsongo Sun group of hotels on dinners with local guest chefs at which our youth gain real-life kitchen experience, plus connect graduates with them for valuable post-release internships.
• Nutrition education. We partner with Elangeni Hotels to teach teens about the fundamentals of a healthy diet, what is in food and how to create nutritious meals.
• The hard skills that can turn into a post-release job are the cornerstone of our culinary program. But, just as important are the life lessons learned from the experiences of learning from a professional chef or being part of a team that creates a successful dining experience.
