Her interaction highlighted career prospects in the hospitality industry, practical insights into running a successful food business and excelling in the industry, a special mentorship session to guide students on industry expectations and skills development, and the exciting opportunities the industry presents.

We aim to engage, inspire, and empower the next generation by shedding light on the diverse opportunities within the food and beverage industry.
