Culinary Training
In September 2018, our inaugural culinary training workshop will empower our guests to gain skills, build confidence and improve employability.
Culinary certification and skills training
In a professional kitchen environment, participants build confidence, acquire life skills, gain culinary know-how & learn about table etiquette. Each participant will be asked to volunteer during the Refettorio lunch service to gain professional kitchen experience. Through kitchen skills, participants will build confidence and self-motivation as well as enjoy socialising and feeling part of a team.
Promoting a healthy lifestyle
Our workshops will arm each participant not only with professional aptitude in the kitchen but also help them gain an understanding of nutrition and diet, helping them learn about cooking a balanced meal and gaining a respect for food and hospitality services.
Facilitate access to career opportunities
The 7-week course is supported with preparation for work: life skills training, positive work attitude, time management, CV writing and interview support, as well as assistance in accessing further educational training course and work experience.

- Those at risk or having experienced homelessness and/or unemployment
