Even as students in the state have begun shortlisting their career aspirations this summer, Goa’s only culinary B-school Kamaxi College of Culinary Arts (KCCA) has made a foray into food and beverage service with a new course called Food & Beverage Service Associate Programme for their new academic year 2023-24.
The Food & Beverage Service Associate Programme is a comprehensive six-month course designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge required to excel in the dynamic food and beverage industry.
Accredited by the New Delhi-based Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) under the National Skill Development Council (NSDC), the programme is set to revolutionise hospitality education in Goa.
Under the guidance of experienced faculty and industry experts, students will receive hands-on training in various aspects of food and beverage service.
From table set-ups, menu planning, service techniques, buffet set-ups, guest handling, wines, spirits, cocktails, coffees and even entrepreneurship, the programme covers a wide range of topics that are vital for success in the industry.
“The Food & Beverage Service Associate Programme will deliver knowledge of the industry, cuisines, culinary techniques, and service standards to our students. Practical skills in food presentation, beverage service and delivering guest delight will be taught. Completing the course will open up global career opportunities in restaurants, hotels, bars, cruise liners and event management," said S T Vinodkumar, Principal of KCCA.
"Specialised training will promote professional growth while customer service skills are transferable across sectors. The course will also equip students for entrepreneurial ventures in the food and beverage industry, such as opening their own restaurant or catering service,” he informed.
