Listeners were given the opportunity to enter and as a result, 10 local, aspiring chefs were each awarded a R30 000 bursary with which to start their culinary journey at IHS in March this year. The winners were also given the opportunity to secure further funding towards their fees by participating in a hotly contested cook-off this past Saturday. Lusanda Mafanya, a passionate cook who is \u2018in-between jobs\u2019, walked away victorious with a whopping R100 000 bursary, courtesy of IHS, to pursue his culinary dream.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons that make IHS the obvious choice for anyone wanting to enter the hospitality world but John offers his top two reasons: \u201cFirst off, IHS is part of Switzerland\u2019s Sommet Education Group, the world\u2019s leader in hospitality management education. This association allows you to follow your passion anywhere in the world. In addition, IHS has an active division called \u2018Beyond Grad\u2019 \u2013 this is a work placement service, exclusive to our students. At any point, even if it is 10 years after graduation from IHS, students are still eligible to access the database and associated support, to secure a job in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The initial March intake will be enrolments for the 1-year Professional Cookery and 2-year Professional Cookery &amp; Patisserie Programmes. Going forward, in addition to the Culinary Programmes, International Hotel School will be offering the full complement of Degrees, Diplomas and Higher Certificates in Hospitality Management.<\/p>\n<p>If you are creative, have a passion for food and would like to see the world, a culinary qualification may just be for you!<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit: www.hotelschool.co.za<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/international-excellence-in-culinary-education-now-available-in-gqeberha\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
