Kumala Academy recognizes that skill gaps remain a major challenge in this industry. “Many workers in the dessert and hospitality industries require specialized training to enhance their skills,” said Arimbi Nimpuno, a chef and practitioner who also co-founded Kumala Academy. “Our programs will help participants gain skills, meet industry standards, and prepare them to make significant contributions in their workplaces,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Kumala Academy invites industry practitioners, such as chefs and business owners, to teach classes. This program is expected to add value for potential students who take the existing programs. “Having an interest in the F&B industry is crucial for aspiring successful culinary entrepreneurs.
