“Realising the urgent need for skilled workers with competencies and knowledge in F&B and culinary arts, this foundation certificate provides them with the necessary skills to start their career in the hotel industry and also paves the way for them to continue their education. The students live in Galle and its suburbs and some of them are already employed in star class hotels in the area, which is very encouraging,” Harpo commented.
