Today three of our catering students went for a final interview at the new restaurant at the Village Market, The owner wanted to employ them but since they had no National Identity cards, this could not be possible. But as soon as they get their IDs, the owner of the rastaurant promised them a job placement in his new restaurant.

*Attachments are places/jobs/businesses of internships to gain more experience in their respective skills. Joel is working close to these students on their exit, gathering documents that are necessary to fit in the modern competitive society and job market. The repsective skills training instructors are also giving a helping hand.
