Award for trainee chef
From the scarce job market of Whangarei and Northland, one Bream Bay College school leaver and trainee chef has quickly found his feet.
With determination, and help from Lion Breweries, Greg Smith was awarded the Auckland Rotary Club’s vote of Best 1982 Student in the Maori pre-employment course at the Auckland Technical Institute last month.
The award is made to the student who is a diligent worker and who mixes with staff and students.
At 19, Greg is well on the way to completing his ATI chef’s course and establishing a career in catering.
He is a cook at the Ellerslie Oak’s Jolly Poacher restaurant and attends the Technical Institute part time. He will sit his final exams for qualifications as a chef at the end of next year. Greg said his talent for cooking comes from his mother, who is a food supervisor at Northland Hospital. Greg is a popular staff member at the Oaks. In recognition of his achievements the management presented him with a set of carving knives.
