Launch of DigiChef Online Learning with At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy

Worldchefs has announced the collaborative launch of DigiChef Academy, a 100% online learning platform that is recognized by Worldchefs and designed by At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy, Singapore’s premier culinary school for culinary, pastry and baking skills and food & beverage management education.
The platform provides globally recognized 6-month online career diplomas offering skills and knowledge in East and West, Old World and New World cuisines.
With 9 culinary modules, 9 Pastry & Bakery modules, and 7 F&B Services modules taught by leading industry professionals, the Diplomas are awarded by At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy and endorsed by Worldchefs, delivering new opportunities to upskill kitchen and F&B training.

Paris, 8 of September 2021 – Worldchefs has announced the collaborative launch of DigiChef Academy, a 100% online learning platform that is recognized by Worldchefs and designed by At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy, Singapore’s premier culinary school for culinary, pastry and baking skills and food & beverage management education.

For the past 20 years, the At-Sunrice has been cultivating global chefs and F&B professionals in an experiential environment of culinary authenticity and best-fit apprenticeship. Pioneering applied learning strategies with study and work apprenticeships and international qualifications, At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy is a leader in shaping culinary training. The DigiChef Academy platform represents a new chapter in their mission to build craft-based education.

The experiential online learning platform provides innovative teaching and learning methodology, with an overall learning journey designed in three integrated phases:

Phase 1 – The first phase is 100% online and optimized for access across devices to empower learning 24/7. Students are given full access to the course materials in an interactive formation, allowing for self-paced study that breaks the monotony of reading from a textbook.
Phase 2 – The second phase provides on-site employment experience shadowing a DigiChef Academy-trained supervising Chef to support leadership training. Students learn by watching their supervisor formally or in informal demos within an everyday kitchen or restaurant environment.
Phase 3 – The third phase focuses on practice and peer learning. Through shared video within the platform, students track their own skills development in a fun and engaging way. Posting their videos promotes communication and encourages students to push each other to constantly improve.

To promote interactivity between learning peers and instructors, an innovative digital Dashboard allows instructors, trainers, and employers to fully track learners’ progress.

“The partnership of Worldchefs and At-Sunrice to create DigiChef Academy platform has been in the works for three years. The result is the three six months online Career Diplomas twinned with Employability which we are launching today,” says Dr. Kwan Lui, founder of At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy.

“With Worldchefs, we are now able to open up this new horizon with no border restrictions and 24/7. We welcome any WC members to support in numerous possibilities as employers, as DigiChef Academy Instructors, DigiChef Academy assessors, or to provide scholarships to DigiChef Academy student chefs.”

The launch of DigiChef Academy marks another step into the digital frontier for Worldchefs and their efforts to expand educational standards and training opportunities for their international membership and culinary community.

The global non-profit has focused on providing culinary professionals with opportunities to upskill and access quality training resources, from their free online Worldchefs Academy Pre-Commis Chef training course, Global Hospitality Certification program, online catalog of Worldchefs Approved Schools, Sustainability Education curriculum, industry webinars, podcast, regional initiatives, and more.

The partnership with At-Sunrice also includes a series of educational webinars, livestream programs, and skills training recipe demos.

“Worldchefs continues to be inspired by the teaching innovations of our friends at At-Sunrice GlobalChefs Academy,” says Ragnar Fridrikkson, Worldchefs Managing Director. “We look forward to our continued

collaboration and to the bright futures for future culinary students and professionals around the world.”

Mark Your Calendars for International Chefs Day 2021!

Post author By Anand
Post date August 11, 2021

Mark Your Calendars: International Chefs Day is October 20th!

Each year on October 20th, we celebrate International Chefs Day. Since its creation, by the Late Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher in 2004, Worldchefs has committed to using International Chefs Day to celebrate our noble profession, always remembering that it is our duty to pass on our knowledge and culinary skills to the next generation of chefs with a sense of pride and commitment to the future.

Over the past years, Worldchefs has partnered with Nestlé Professional to teach children around the globe about the importance of healthy eating by hosting fun-filled workshops worldwide.

In 2020, many Chefs around the globe did not have the opportunity to have events due to COVID-19 and created short videos to share with children on social media, which became a big hit. The videos allowed us to reach approx.112,000 children. Unfortunately, uncertainty is still around many of us, but we will continue to reach as many children as possible either in-person at a workshop or through online learning and social media. To help, Nestlé Professional has made fantastic adaptions to the toolkit to make online learning easy and accessible.

As Chefs, we are all paying closer attention towards keeping ourselves and others healthy. Having a strong immune system and eating “stress-busting” foods will help us through these challenging times.

We can also help our children, the Worldchefs way by working together in Preparing Children for a Healthy Life. International Chefs Day will once again promote the theme: Healthy Food for the Future.

In 2021, International Chefs Day will also emphasize sustainability and the environment to ensure a healthy planet for future generations. It is vital for us to teach children about the impact that production and consumption of food has on the environment.

We will use this opportunity to teach children about healthy eating by letting them be creative with food. With the Chef’s input, education and help, children will be able to create recipes out of healthy foods and support Healthy Food for the Future.

HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?

All Chefs from around the globe are invited to host their very own Healthy Food for the Future workshop in their region. It can be a workshop for your own children, or a workshop for 300 children, every child can benefit from this experience, and it is important to share this opportunity and message for them to learn and enjoy eating something new!

A toolkit with everything you need to run an event, from instructions to materials to recipes to social media tips, has been prepared for you. Thanks to the Chefs who contributed to the 2021 campaign by submitting recipes! The complete toolkit can be downloaded below. International Chefs Day Committee members and Nestlé Professional regional managers in selected areas are standing by to help you find a venue, connect with schools and more. Just ask, we are always here for you.
Get started by downloading the toolkit

To host a Healthy Food for the Future workshop on or around October 20, 2021, please contact Vanessa Marquis, Chairman, International Chefs Day Committee at [email protected].

Download your toolkit today and join Chefs from around the world by sharing and making a big impact with the children in your community.

Worldchefs Certified Judging Levels Expanded to Support Skills Development

The Worldchefs Culinary Committee has expanded Worldchefs Certified Judge levels to support the highest standards in culinary competitions and juries.
The new model provides additional opportunities for skills development in culinary competition judging.
Worldchefs Certified Judges will be issued updated Worldchefs’ certificates and digital badges matched to their new judging level. Individuals are encouraged to update their Worldchefs online profile for the most up-to-date information on the Worldchefs Certified Judge Directory.

Paris, 6 of July 2021 – The Worldchefs Culinary Competition Committee (CCC) has expanded Worldchefs Certified Judge levels to support the highest standards in culinary competitions and juries. The new model has been developed as part of the CCC’s mission to advance standards of excellence built on professionalism, leadership, and collaboration.

“The whole idea of the change was to modernize our approach to every changing aspect of the culinary world,” says Rick Stephen, Worldchefs Culinary Committee Chairman. “Keeping up with food and the world standards and the new challenges that face all food-related competitions with hygiene and food waste been paramount.”

The new levels will provide additional opportunities for skills development in culinary competition judging. Worldchefs Certified Judges can progress through the judging levels over the course of their career and culinary competition experience to reflect their commitment and expertise in the field.

The Culinary Committee has taken a dynamic approach to incorporate mentorship and peer learning into the new model. A Learner Judge-or Rookie Judge-level has been introduced to advance the future of juries, encouraging competitions around the globe to take a more active role in supporting the new guard of international competition standards.

“We envisage the opportunity to feature more traditional cuisines from our members’ regions and countries, but also to have these cuisines on the international stage and be judged by experts in that style of cuisine,” says Stephen.

Complete information on the application process and requirements to become a Worldchefs Certified Judge can be found here. A brief outline of the new judging levels is as follows:

Rookie / Learner Judge: Qualifying candidates with the necessary endorsements can serve at a Rookie / Learner Judge level. Proof of participation as a Rookie / Learner Judge at Worldchefs Endorsed Competitions can be used as supporting documents in applications for all Worldchefs Certified Judge levels.
Sponsored Judge: Qualified chefs recognized as experts from a reputable company or institution can serve at a Sponsored Judge level. Sponsored Judges are mentored by a Worldchefs Certified Judge prior to any event.
Worldchefs Certified Regional Judge: The Worldchefs Certified Regional Judge level is designed for culinary competition jurors with a local scope, not just limited to regional, but also international regions where your language or cuisine may be featured. This is a stepping stone to the next level.
Worldchefs Certified Continental Judge: The Worldchefs Certified Continental Judge level represents mid-level culinary professionals with some judging experience, including competitors with silver medal performance and/or a minimum of two years in a high-end restaurant environment. The Worldchefs Certified Continental Judge level has replaced the former B Judge level.
Worldchefs Certified International Judge: The Worldchefs Certified International Judge level represents senior-level culinary professionals with advanced judging experience, including competitors with silver medal performance and/or a minimum of five years in a high-end restaurant environment. The Worldchefs Certified International Judge level has replaced the former A Judge level. The new rules also allow for Worldchefs Certified International Judges to serve as observer judges.
Worldchefs Honorary / Life Judge: The Worldchefs Honorary / Life Judge level is awarded by the Worldchefs President for outstanding contributions to Worldchefs and competition programs. Recipients must be in good standing as a Worldchefs Certified Judge at any level.

Additional requirements for specialized credentials still apply for applications to judging categories, which now include: Culinary Arts & Hot Kitchen, Pastry Arts, Carving, Community Catering, and Vegan/Plant-Based Cuisine.

Current Worldchefs Certified Judges will be issued updated Worldchefs’ certificates and digital badges matched to their new judging level. Individuals are encouraged to update their Worldchefs online profile to ensure the most up-to-date information on the Worldchefs Certified Judge Directory.

IDX_FS International Digital Food Services Expo powered by INTERNORGA: The starting signal for a top-class digital event for the industry

IDX_FS International Digital Food Services Expo powered by INTERNORGA: The starting signal for a top-class digital event for the industry

Originally published 03/04/21

On 15 March 2021, the IDX_FS International Digital Food Service Expo powered by INTERNORGA (IDX_FS Expo), the digital industry event for the catering, foodservice and hotel industries, will get underway. One week before the start of the three-day digital format, the three partners and organisers – INTERNORGA, IDX Events GmbH and the Institute of Culinary Art – as well as a member of the INTERNORGA Exhibitor Advisory Board, explain in an online press conference the current situation amid an ongoing pandemic, the special features and highlights of the event, and the relevance of digital events. The focus is on the varied programme, presented from three stages in Cologne and Hamburg. In addition to an innovative, virtual platform with 100 exhibitors and partners, the IDX_FS Expo will present a series of top-class speakers, well-known competitions and award ceremonies, as well as new formats.

The IDX_FS Expo from 15 to 17 March 2021 will create an industry format that is intended to encourage people, especially in times of ongoing uncertainty. ‘The entire trade fair industry was severely restricted by the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, however, it has also led to new food for thought and significantly accelerated digitalisation. The IDX_FS Expo is not only an absolute must for all those involved in the foodservice and hospitality market, but also sets new benchmarks when it comes to digital approaches to trade fairs,’ says Bernd Aufderheide, Chairman of the Management Board of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH.

Three exciting days of inspiration, food for thought and pioneering trends await attendees from the catering, foodservice and hotel industries. Claudia Johannsen, Division Manager at Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, sees the IDX_FS Expo as a strong signal to the industry and is looking forward to an inspiring and lively event: ‘For decades, INTERNORGA has been a hotbed of new trends and fresh impetus, and is known as a high-quality platform for the entire foodservice and hospitality market. We are thrilled that in this unusual year, with two great partners at our side, we are able to offer the entire foodservice and hospitality market a digital platform with the IDX_FS Expo that promises a varied supporting programme, as well as offering exhibitors and visitors opportunities to interact.’

The aims of the industry event are: to connect national and international players from the fields of gastronomy, foodservice, catering and the hotel industry, as well as exhibitors and visitors, both digitally and virtually, and to stimulate exchange and networking. ‘That is unique,’ says Michael Buck, Managing Partner of IDX EVENTS GmbH, the technology and event company that is making the worldwide launch of the IDX_FS Expo possible with the help of a novel distribution platform. ‘We believe that this also provides great added value for all participants and attendees of the digital event. The event will motivate stakeholders in the industry to look positively to the future. Virtual formats will not disappear in the future, but the companies involved and all the rest of us can learn now how to navigate this new hybrid world. That is a great opportunity for learning and experimentation.’

The Institute of Culinary Art (ICA), as sponsor of the trade fair, sees the digital exhibition approach for the entire foodservice and hospitality market as an opportunity to continue to do business successfully in the future and to redefine the value chain. ICA President Gerhard Bruder views the direct gathering of information as a particular source of added value: ‘The possibilities of digital mean visitors can find much of what they are looking for considerably faster. Depending on their interests, they can go straight to the food producers, and then, for example, to the checkout systems – without walking the long distances through the trade fair. They can immediately view the innovations there and interact directly via video.’

MKN Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neubauer GmbH & Co. is an exhibitor and has been a member of the INTERNORGA Exhibitor Advisory Board for many years. Its CEO, Georg Weber, highlights the advantages from an exhibitor’s point of view: ‘Firstly, a participating company benefits from greater reach than at a physical event. The digital format is also used by people for whom travelling to a trade fair in person would be impossible or too expensive. This will significantly increase the potential number of participants in the event.’ Weber also emphasises that the format offers more wide-reaching opportunities: ‘We see the IDX_FS Expo as an opportunity to gain new digital experience and to use this platform for the exchange of expert knowledge beyond the boundaries of our field. We want to enter into dialogue with existing partners and potential customers and present our product highlights. Of course, we also can’t wait to meet and exchange ideas again in person at INTERNORGA in Hamburg. Nothing can replace that physical event.’
