Inspiring Inclusion Through Culinary Skills

National Foodpreneur Supports Deaf Culinary Talent

National Foods, through its flagship initiative, National Foodpreneur Programme, has launched a three-month Professional Culinary Training that gives ten Deaf women and men the practical skills to build careers and livelihoods in the hospitality industry.

The initiative, launched in partnership with ConnectHear, aims to promote inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunity. With training support provided to ConnectHear by the Civil Society Human and Institutional Development Programme (CHIP), participants will receive hands-on training in various cuisines, along with food hygiene, safety and HACCP principles, and professional kitchen operations.

The programme reflects National Foods’ focus on building a more inclusive and accessible food and hospitality industry, creating equitable pathways for Persons with Disabilities to pursue professional growth and greater economic independence, contributing to SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities.
