Meeting with Pastry Chef Alex: the final stretch before the internships begin

The Young Bakers are now in the final week of the intensive training that they are following before starting their internships. So that to better prepare them to the working environment of luxury hotels, we decided to ask a Master Chef to share some advice with the students.

On Saturday 5th October 2013, Pastry Chef Alex from Pullman Shanghai South came over to our partner school, Caoyang Vocational School. After sharing with the students his education background and his professional experience, Alex gave them the golden rules that each intern should know before starting their internship. Unsurprisingly, hygiene rules came first. Thanks to the hygiene training taught by Carrefour Wuning, our students were already aware of these rules. He also gave them very useful tips on how to have an appropriate behaviour with colleagues and customers.

Afterwards, our students asked him many concrete questions regarding the internship in the hotel. One could hear a hint of worry in their voice. Fortunately, Alex reassured them by telling funny stories and by giving precious advice. In a serious yet relaxed atmosphere, the students had the opportunity to learn many things from Alex’s impressive 18 years of working experience. They are now ready to start their internships!

Many thanks again to Pastry Chef Alex for his time and his support!

实习开始前的最后准备：对话西点师薛琦

小青们现在正进行着实习开始前最后一周的紧张培训。为了使他们能够适应高档酒店的工作环境，我们决定邀请酒店的大厨与学生们分享自己的心得体会。

2013年10月5日，星期六，来自上海中星铂尔曼大酒店的西点师薛琦来到了我们的合作学校：曹阳职业技术学院。在与学生们分享了他的教育背景和工作经历后，薛琦向学生们介绍了每一个实习生在正式实习前需要知道的黄金法则。毫无意外，卫生标准是最重要的。多亏了家乐福武宁店为我们提供的卫生安全培训，我们的学生们已经了解了这些规则。薛琦还向学生们介绍了一些小技巧以帮助他们更好地与同事和顾客相处。

在此之后，我们的学生向他提出了许多具体的问题。不难发现，学生们的声音中透露着一丝焦虑。幸运的是，薛琦通过讲述有趣的故事和提出有价值的建议打消了学生们的顾虑。在严肃而轻松的氛围中，学生们得以从薛琦18年的工作经历中学到了许多珍贵的东西。现在，他们已经为实习做好准备了！

感谢西点师薛琦对海上青焙坊项目的支持和奉献！
