Two training institutions have locked arms to advance\u00a0workforce development strategies in Grenada<\/strong>, focused on the culinary sector.<\/p>\n

Through a newly inked agreement,\u00a0The Culinary Institute of America (CIA)<\/strong>\u00a0will provide training to senior culinary students of the\u00a0West Indies School of Hospitality (WISH)<\/strong>. Once certified, the trained participants will then share their acquired skills with teams across the island.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aim is to positively impact the workforce with more competent staff and to create a stronger culture of\u00a0culinary entrepreneurship<\/strong>\u00a0in Grenada and throughout the Caribbean,\u201d said\u00a0Barry Collymore<\/strong>, WISH co-founder and the proprietor of Mount Cinnamon Resort. \u201cGrenada\u2019s culinary niche needs to be developed to its full potential and WISH aims to be at the forefront of this endeavor,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment in 2021, WISH has trained more than 1,000 students in Grenada. Through partnerships with institutions such as eCornell and the CIA, and with the support of tourism industry leaders, the school provides thousands of\u00a0hospitality scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0every year.<\/p>\n

The new initiative will leverage the CIA\u2019s ProChef digital video series as a training platform through four phases, beginning as early as this summer.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Grenada Tourism Authority\u00a0Randall Dolland<\/strong>\u00a0said the Authority is committed to supporting private sector partners \u201cin our combined quest to ensure Grenada continues to excel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis alliance between WISH and CIA will significantly underpin Grenada\u2019s position as one of the most significant food destinations in the Caribbean,\u201d Dolland added.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the World Food Travel Association named Grenada and sister islands Carriacou and Petite Martinique the\u00a0world\u2019s first \u201cCulinary Capital\u201d<\/strong>. Known as the \u201cSpice Island\u201d, Grenada offers some of the region\u2019s finest farm-to-table experiences.<\/p>\n
