If you are currently working in the industry, you will be able to complete this programme through our Work Integrated Learning  (WIL) pathway. This allows you to further your education while remaining in work. This pathway provides the benefits of lower fees, career advancement, flexibility, and tailored projects that align with your career aspirations and workplace needs.

Through this pathway, we will work closely with you and your employer to establish a mentoring arrangement. As part of this learning agreement, the workplace will provide a mentor for you and opportunities to extend your culinary design skills and management capabilities. Course project work is negotiated through a meeting held between the learner, workplace representatives, and lecturers. During these meetings, we discuss what new learning needs to occur and what possible workplace activities could facilitate this learning. The intention of these meetings is to ensure that learners have project work that provides them with opportunities to gain new skills and capabilities while bringing benefits to the workplace.
