The hospitality industry is changing its face and the way business is going to be
carried out. Some experts believe that restaurants & hotels alike will
become an ‘ultra’ luxury service due to the social distancing norms, whilst
other experts also believe that the demand for personalized and individual
services such as bringing a chef home or ‘dark kitchens' will increase.
The
uncertainty of the near future has not and shall not impact the ambitions and
dreams of millions of aspiring chefs in India & overseas; and therefore
whilst there is a certain slow-down in the momentum however the demand of
professional chefs and courses for aspiring chefs are growing day by day.
We have
witnessed some of the most demanding times in the last 50 days of a nationwide
lockdown and this has given rise to a wide range of expectations within the
restrictions we are all living through. Amongst many, the demand for virtual
learning has been one of the top expectations, as aspiring chefs and students
have established that life must not and cannot come to a complete halt.
Therefore after researching and exploring the most effective methods available;
IICA introduced online education for its students who are pursuing full time
professional courses at IICA as well as the hobby chef enthusiasts.
These online classes were a combination of practical demonstrations, virtual
& interactive theory sessions. Visiting chef masterclasses have proven to
exponentially increase the interest levels of the students and their knowledge
in the art & science of culinary arts.
Taking
lead from the success of these sessions, the institute has launched online
hobby chef classes as well which have
interactive Q & A to respond to all your queries; which is
attracting students from all over.
Acknowledging
the need for providing a secure and safe environment at the workplace and thus
inspire confidence in our students and faculty, we have also developed a new set
of STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE to be implemented at our campus in Delhi &
Gurgaon that will ensure social distancing and ensure hygienic work
environments.
In our
Prime Minister’s words, ensure “ JAAN BHI - JAHAN BHI.
It
feels good when you know, “ we have done something”
Stray
safe- Stay strong.
