Petesplace
Description
PetesPlace - School of Catering and Hospitality was created with the purpose of imparting specific skill-sets to school drop-outs, children below the poverty line who are more creatively oriented and are uncomfortable with formal education. To promote and operate a self sustaining institute providing short-term, Job-Oriented courses in Catering and Hospitality Management, skill-sets to be employed in Hospitality Industry. The ever increasing demand for skilled workers in the Hospitality sector prompted us to address this industry need since the skills required are 80% practical and only about 20% theoritical. The courses have been designed for school drop-outs, underprivileged and BPL (Below the poverty line) children of the local Community (Parishes) first, and others as a secondary option, as the project begins to build in strength. The Primary objective is to train and equip students with skill sets to become employable, self-sufficient persons who have a sense of dignity and self-worth. On successful complettion of the course all students who are provided with suitable employment in their respective fields of specialization, with our Panel Hotels/Restaurants and other related Hospitality outlets or Organisations. A Glimpse of our future plans. (We may also consider a Home-care Giver’s course at a later date for domestic help who will be trained to provide comprehensive care, including Geriatric / Palliative care to fulfill the present day requirements.) I had the privilege of operating this project from Oct 2014 to July 2015, after which I had to close down operations as we had no funds to continue and the person who supported us was transferred. I would like to share some of the most wonderful, rewarding and fulfilling experience/s of my life in/with The School of Catering and Hospitality with you. The first batch was of five students - all underprivileged, Drop-outs commenced in October of 2014. The most endearing part of the project was that we had one student who was HIV+, another had a hole in the heart, a third was the son of a housemaid. The other two, a boy and a girl made up the batch of five. They were a studious lot and by the end of December, when on a Trainee site visit to the Minerva Grand Hotel, the entire batch (all five) were asked to join, each in their respective areas of specialization. Four signed up and the fifth joined his father's canteen business. The second batch was doubled to ten and completed the course in Mar. 2015. This time too all were placed with gainful employment in star hotels. The third batch was sixteen. By this time I we had some rudimentary Audio/Visual equipment that made classes more animated. This batch too had one hundred percent placement with some opting for other service oriented jobs. The jewels in the crown were the four outstanding students who were selected by The Park Hyatt - Hyderabad. I am confident, that with your assistance, this project will be restarted soon to give the children of tomorrow a better chance at life. I hope you enjoyed this short testimony of mine as much as I enjoyed reliving it in these pages. Please join hands with us, together we can make a difference and make this happen.
