• Appetite for Success - TAFE SA Adelaide North

A few years ago the Hospitality Industry was in crisis with Chefs and Cooks leaving the industry. Regency International Centre (of hospitality education and training) along with the Food Tourism and Hospitality Skills Council and Strategon (a private training consultancy company) established the South Australian Appetite for Success Program. With Industry Mentors and Case Managers they delivered technical training, learning consultancy, on-line learning, work-based research and team projects. The Program successfully created highly skilled young leaders and a higher retention rate in the workforce, reaffirming TAFE SA’s international reputation as a high quality, innovative hospitality industry supporter and leader.
