Industry leaders to inspire at Open Day
Industry leaders from foods, hospitality, tourism and events will join the fun at the upcoming William Angliss Institute Melbourne Open Day on Sunday 13 August.
Internationally acclaimed dessert and pastry chef Christy Tania recently showcased her 'Floating Ice Cream' creation on MasterChef, and will shortly launch her own dessert shop, Glacé, in Windsor. Christy will do a dessert demonstration including making little ice cream truffle pops.
Matteo Pignatelli of Matteo’s restaurant in Fitzroy will share some of his secrets for success at the helm of one of Melbourne’s top dining institutions with his executive chef Kah-wai (aka 'Buddha') Lo doing a tantalising cooking demonstration, followed by a Great Chefs ‘Bitesize’ taster lunch.
Chef Kah-Wai was awarded the 2015 Gordon Ramsay Excellence Award, competing against five other Gordon Ramsay employees at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London.
Contiki Tours Asia Operations Supervisor Taryn Welsh will discuss what it like to work in the industry, what employers are looking for, new industry trends and career paths.
These demonstrations complement an extensive line-up of information sessions and hands-on activities with Angliss expert teachers to give potential students the chance to learn about the foods, hospitality, tourism and events industries:
Working as restaurant manager at Estelle by Scott Pickett Cameron Maher will present some of his experiences as assistant restaurant manager at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and at The Fat Duck in Melbourne and in the UK.
Culinary tasters and workshops - Students can gain hands-on experience, introducing them to the working life of a flight attendant, chef, event stylist or hotel employee. This is a great chance to get into a practical, professional environment and participate in a culinary taster or learn about how to create the perfect risotto or the latest customer service trends.
Going Global – Students can expand their horizons with our study abroad, study tours and overseas working opportunities including Disney Cultural Exchange Program which are offered as part of a number of our courses.
