A culinary apprenticeship programme at Resorts World Sentosa allowed 30 teenagers of low-income families to spend a few days under the guidance and teaching of professional chefs, learning to prepare dishes. "Becoming a top chef takes commitment, willingness and, most of all, passion" said the Resorts World Sentosa executive chef, Edmund Toh.
These 30 teenagers were chosen by youth charities and volunteer welfare organisations, as they showed potential. From this programme, the teenagers learned skills and tips on how to make dishes, also, they learnt to follow safety precautions.
In my opinion, having such programmes should be more encouraged. This helps individuals to persue their passion, and also, do well in what they are talented in. Especially for people from low-income families, they could not afford to attend classes outside school to pick up skills that they are really interested in learning. Thus, not only does this helps individuals, it also helps the society. It brings new talents and can contribute to our society, making our society a better place.
Schools can conduct workshops such as dancing classes, singing classes, cooking classes, and even IT classes. Teachers can make use of these opportunities and nurture students with potentials.
