Last year, the Management Development Institute of Singapore unveiled a new bakery and culinary studio as part of a move to introduce more practical, skills-based curricula for people keen to enter the hospitality as well as the food and beverage sector.
The studio allows aspiring chefs to practise their baking skills in a kitchen that is on a par with professional standards.
New culinary-related courses have also been launched by MDIS. About 100 students a year will benefit from the new facilities and programmes, which are under the MDIS School of Tourism and Hospitality.
Last year, the F&B industry contributed about $14.4 billion to Singapore’s gross domestic product and employed nearly 300,000 people.
