The results we want to achieve by implementing the project; In order to make our culinary students employable in the international sector and to strengthen their employability in our country, it is to strengthen the national employability of our students by improving their professional-personal qualifications in European quality and to ensure that they have employable qualifications in the international market. For this purpose, we planned an internship for our students to gain experience by working in open buffet kitchens. Because the open buffet contains many cuisines and varieties and is a suitable kitchen for gaining culinary discipline. Therefore, we implement our project in order to provide our students with many professional and personal qualifications. Despite the difficulties of the pandemic conditions, not only our students but also our teachers' achievements in international cooperation, organization and project implementation are among the results we want to achieve by applying our project.
We applied for the project in order to train students who can be employed not only in the national sector but also in the international sector. Increasing the internationalization dimension of our institution, increasing student motivation and interest in the profession, incorporating the international business discipline into our structure and transferring it to our students, are the reasons why we apply to the project, as it can show our students that their profession has an important future. In the application of our project, we wanted to provide our students with internship opportunities in European hotels. Our students took part in every unit of the open buffet kitchen as apprenti (kitchen trainee) and fulfilled the duties given by the chefs. Our students have achieved very important gains by working with a chef in Europe, performing cleaning, sorting, washing operations as required, performing cutting, chopping and dividing operations as desired, following what the chefs say and applying them to the letter.
