Worldchefs is using digital credentials to raise professional culinary standards, in a global workforce!

Post author By Anand
Post date May 18, 2018

Do you know how Worldchefs is helping the 93% of culinary businesses having difficulty finding quality professionals?

Global cuisine is a fast growing industry with a highly mobile and very diverse workforce, reaching $5,776 billion (US) in 2017 and estimated to grow at a rate of 5% over the next five years.

In such a dynamic environment it can be time consuming and resource intensive for employers to find people with the right skills. In fact, a 2016 survey found that a staggering 93% of culinary businesses have difficulty finding the quality professionals they required.

Finding people with the right skills is particularly challenging in the culinary profession, as most of the learning for cooks and chefs takes place in the kitchen, rather than in organised training centres. This means that the majority of the skills people develop are invisible to potential employers.

As a result, even highly skilled professionals may be overlooked and not considered for opportunities which would enable them to realise their full potential.

If employers are to reduce the time and cost is takes to recruit globally, then they need more efficient ways of finding people with the right skills, starting by ensuring busy professionals can easily make every skill visible.

On March 14, 2017,
Thomas Gugler, president of the World Association of Chefs’ Societies,
officially awarded a certificate of honour to recognise Hoi An as the Food
Capital of Viet Nam.

Hoi An in Vietnam is often cited in international
magazines and travel pages as one of 10 best places to eat in the World. It is
also the World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. It is about fabulous fresh
food is the order of the day – every day.

The ancient town of Hoi An, 100km south, down the
coast, is a very beguiling place to spend a few days, with its lazy river lined
with mustard-yellow merchants’ houses, and beaches a few kilometres away. It
owes its wonderfully well-preserved state to the silting-up of the Thu Bon
river in the 19th century, which put an end to its importance as a trading
post, but helped it escape modern development and US bombing. Yes, it’s
touristy, but the old town is surprisingly extensive and can absorb a lot of
visitors without losing its dreamy atmosphere. And while much of Vietnam, to
both north and south, gets a thorough soaking in summer, the central coast is
at its driest and sunniest in May, June and July.

Due to its new
officially award as recognised Food Capital of Viet Nam. Worldchefs has
decided to show you what are the top 6 food & beverage things to try in Hoi
An, Vietnam:

association’s 90 year anniversary with an extra bang this 2018, with a stellar
