The event, organized by UEF in collaboration with the American Potato Association, is one of a series of activities that combine practical training with industry standards. Attending the program, students are updated with knowledge about international products and ingredients, directly observing and interacting with famous chefs in the industry such as Chef Norbert Ehrbar - member of the World Master Chef Society or Iron Chef Le Xuan Tam.

Focus on practical training, creating a solid integration foundation for students.

Using American potatoes as the main ingredient, the young people tried their hand at preparing appetizers and main dishes within a limited time, under the evaluation of a panel of highly qualified judges. This is a valuable opportunity for students to get acquainted with the real pressure of a professional restaurant and hotel environment and learn how to improvise in all professional situations.

According to MSc. Nguyen Viet Thuy - Deputy Head of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management at UEF, bringing students into practical models, from simulated kitchens to international culinary competitions like this, is an indispensable part of the training program. "In addition to learning how to cook, our students also learn professional thinking, how to present dishes, combine international ingredients and especially service culture. That is what makes the difference in the global service sector," he shared.

In addition, it can be seen that this activity also helps students build their career profiles, increase their competitiveness when interning and applying for jobs at large hotel and restaurant systems such as Marriott, New World, Novotel, Sofitel,...

Through activities such as seminars, creating a playground for students to show their talents and connect with businesses, UEF is gradually standardizing the training roadmap for the Tourism - Restaurant - Hotel industry in an international orientation, creating generations of students with enough knowledge, courage and professional capacity to be ready to enter the domestic and foreign labor market.
