Thanks to donations from the virtual fundraiser, the Bourdain Challenge held last year, The Burnt Chef Project has been able to not only allocate funds to this new initiative but also continue to expand it with these new modules.  

Designed for colleges teaching the hospitality professionals of tomorrow, the free-to-access modules have been designed to build the resilience and perseverance of students.

Covering topics including discrimination and equality, budgeting, tax and pensions, recognising stress, planning and time management, gambling, drugs and alcohol and of course, mental health stigma, the college modules are written in handy bite-sized sections, making them easy to absorb and learn around a formal college course.

Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project, said: “Our aim with these modules is to support the next generation of hospitality professionals, by helping them enter the industry with greater resilience.

“Focusing on upskilling students, our Burnt Chef Project college modules allow the future talent of our industry to better cope with everyday stresses while also being equipped with the knowledge and a deeper understanding of several crucial life skills.”

Free to students across the globe, colleges simply need to contact The Burnt Chef Project through the website (www.theburntchefproject.com), where a member of the team can create a bespoke portal, unique to each college.
