Event cooks up career ideas
The three- day event demonstrated the variety of roles working with food and drink in the agri-food, tourism and hospitality sectors, to encourage students to seriously consider a career in these industries.
Students were tasked with sourcing, producing and marketing a product. There was a mock supermarket, mobile kitchen and cookery demos from award winning chefs as well as industry professionals on hand for advice.
