Italy – Catering School: a dream that has become a possibility
Rome, Italy - April 2017 - On 12 April a catering school was inaugurated at Don Bosco Boys’ Town (Borgo Ragazzi Don Bosco). Catering courses are among the most popular in the area, so in 2014 it was decided to renew and expand the premises that housed the course. Three professional kitchens were installed, two of which are already operational. Currently about 100 students can participate, while next year they hope to have at least 150. At the end of the course students acquire a certificate qualifying them as chefs capable of working in the kitchen, or as bartenders in the lounge. Students also have the opportunity to do internships in companies, which often leads to a job. In addition, the Centre is taking steps to ensure that advanced culinary courses are offered in the future.
