11 APRIL 2011
The 11th of April was a big day for the first 20 students in the Culinary Arts with Restaurant Management program, created by the Institut and delivered by ITE (Institute of Technical Education), in Singapore.
Since the official agreement with the Ministry of Education of Singapore in December 2009, Institut Paul Bocuse and ITE have put into place a training program in culinary arts and restaurant management (level III), meeting the highest professional requirements. Through this project, the Republic of Singapore aims to position itself as one of the major playing fields for tourism in Asia.
A detailed remake of the fundamentals of the Culinary arts and restaurant management program at the Institut, the Singaporean program is also delivered over a period of two and half years including nine months of internships. The program has taken into account the specific desires of the partners who have supported its creation: the Singapore Chef’s Association, the Food and Beverage Managers Association as well as the French Embassy in Singapore.
The teams at Institut Paul Bocuse have been totally committed to transmit their knowledge and their methods to the teaching staff at ITE. From "the intelligence of the hand" to "thinking hands", the meeting of these two schools with very similar philosophies, and the success of the first delocalized program have set the stage for long and rich collaboration.
Institut Paul Bocuse wishes an excellent class opening and a great future to the students from Singapore.
