Goan Culinary students get a chance to intern in the US

Goa-based culinary students will now have an opportunity to intern and train at well-known hotels and restaurants in the United States of America, as part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between TransUSA Exchange, a leading international student exchange organisation and Kamaxi College of Culinary Arts.


The internship and training programme will enable students to work in empanelled hotels and fine-dine restaurants on a J1 visa for a duration of up to 12 months, which is extendable. Students will also have the opportunity to earn between $20-30 per hour, depending on their qualifications and the type of work they undertake. While students of KCCA will get priority access to the opportunities available, Kamaxi is committed to assisting any hospitality student seeking to benefit from this partnership.

As per the MoU between TransUSA Exchange and the Verna-based Kamaxi College of Culinary Arts, culinary students enrolled in the latter institute will be offered a comprehensive work-based training program with a range of benefits, including competitive hourly wages, visa assistance, medical insurance, on-duty meals and accommodation support.

The programme will also provide work-based training programmes, allowing participants to improve their knowledge of American techniques, methodologies and expertise.
