Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said the National Indigenous Culinary Institute Skills for Success program has trained more than 200 participants since 2012.
“Ten students this year have had the chance to get up close and personal with some of the best chefs in the most prestigious restaurants in the entire country.
“This creates a direct training pathway for the participants to be employed as paid commercial cookery apprentices in fine dining restaurants. It also completes their formal training qualifications with TAFE NSW while being mentored by Australia’s leading chefs in their own restaurants,” Mr Lee said.
The National Indigenous Culinary Institute was designed to offer elite training and experience for aspiring Aboriginal chefs with training and mentoring being provided by Australia’s top chefs at host restaurants.
National Indigenous Culinary Institute Chief Executive Nathan Lovett said: “The 2021 program again provides the necessary skills to our participants to be successful apprentices working in Australia’s top restaurants. 2020 also allowed us to expand into regional areas of NSW, but we have really embraced the opportunity to grow our flagship program here in Sydney this year.”
This week the NSW Government also opened applications for the 2021 NAIDOC Grants program, which supports NSW activities and events held during NAIDOC Week (4 – 11 July 2021) that celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements.
Grants of up to $3,000 are available with applications closing on Friday 23 April. For more information, visit the website.
