UNDP has provided funding of USD$10,000 to assist the Culinary grassroots traineeships programme for youth, organised by the Samoa Culinary Association.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed recently between the Samoan Culinary Association and the Ministry of Ministry of Women, Community & Social Development, UN’s partner in implementing Youth Employment Programme projects, to support the agreement.
As a result of this funding 18 youth will be trained in culinary skills and techniques, with the prospect of finding an employment in hospitality and tourism industry.
Samoa One-UN YEP stays focused on developing more opportunities for youth training and employment in Samoa.
