Newcomer Kitchen Graduation Day...

Just one word. Proud! 😊

12 weeks from the very start of the 'Willing To Work' program with these ladies, and this week they graduate 🎓. Not only did they gain food business savvy and learn to punch out intense production events (also working in an unfamiliar commercial kitchen), they have grown their language skills, confidence and fellow networking- an integral part of what we strive to do #empowerment 💥

Newcomer Kitchen trains newcomer women food preparation and entrepreneurship funded by the Immigration Refugee Citizenship of Canada (IRCC). This "learn and earn" program helps prepare their food ideas to market with all revenue generated going back in their hands. It was so incredible to see these ladies awarded with their certificates of completion alongside an envelope with the money they profited from the three events (prepared take out meals, product to market and catering)!

Congratulations Mosaic Mamas, you were the first group I worked with in my Program Coordinator role @newcomerkitchen and as I continue to teach new ladies, you will always remain close to my heart 💓. Wishing you all the best!
