Honing on these skills and turning your passion into a career can be a dream come true when you study commercial cookery. Here are some of the top reasons you might consider signing up for a commercial cookery course with us today.

The cooking industry is booming

Chefs and cooks are in really high demand right now. Hotels, restaurants and other hospitality businesses are searching hard to find qualified and skilled chefs to fill their available roles. A hospitality course or a cookery course can help you land a top job with a reputable Australian restaurant.

Career growth is achievable

Once you get your foot in the door with a commercial cookery course there is plenty of room for expansion in your career. There are so many different avenues to explore such as patisserie or even hospitality management. Discover what your passion is within the industry and follow the career path of your choice.

Work within a passionate team

A commercial kitchen buzzes with passion. You need to be ready for the challenge, but if you love being able to have flexible hours in a job you love then a commercial cookery course is the right choice for you. Students find commonality with their peers and form close bonds with workmates who share the same excitement for commercial cooking.

Turn your passion into a career

A love of food combined with an excellent commercial cookery course results in a career you can truly be passionate about. There will always be challenges and obstacles, but your training will help you to conquer these problems and continue to progress in your career. A passion for cooking and for the kitchen is the first step in enrolling in a commercial cookery course.

Remember that the most vital ingredient in beginning your cooking career is by joining the commercial cookery course available at the Sydney School of Business and Technology. Get in touch with us today to find out more about the specifics involved within our course.

“Change is the only constant.” So said Greek philosopher Heraclitus, and it’s as true today as it was in 500 BC – especially when it comes to the job market. New technology, our growing population, ever-evolving trade deals – everyone must plan for the world of tomorrow, and, with the cost of living not going down anytime soon, it’s vital we start by future-proofing our careers.

So, what skills will be in most demand?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which predicts the number of new jobs created in a field over the coming decade, predicts that IT professionals, Business Analysts, and Marketing Specialists will be most valuable to future employers. Specifically, businesses will be looking for candidates with multiple skill sets that combine complementary disciplines, so investing in courses such as an Diploma of Information Technology and Advanced Diploma of Information Technology Business Analysis could stand you in good stead tomorrow.

As for marketing, understanding data is key: software is evolving all the time to enable product developers to better understand their customers and pre-empt their needs – but without humans to communicate meaningful insights that come from data, gathering information is only half the battle. For this reason, a qualification such as a Certificate IV and Diploma of Marketing and Communication might be worth considering – after all, algorithms can gather – and even interpret – data, but companies will still need real people to turn those findings into products, services – and messages – that matter to customers.

Generally speaking, the future looks brightest for people who consistently upskill – even while already employed, and for those who ‘think global’ – that is, embrace the world’s multicultural economy. (Speaking more than one language is a definite plus, too!) The employers of tomorrow will seek worldly candidates who study vocational courses in their spare time and see education as an essential tool not just for securing a job but retaining it as it evolves. Now more than ever, deciding what to study is more than just learning more about what you love – it’s about looking at the future of businesses, and the roles within them so that financial security can be a constant in YOUR life!

Taking a break from your study mightn’t seem as important as the study itself. However, it can play a vital part in maximising your learning. Whether you’re studying online or at either our Sydney CBD or Burwood campuses, study sessions can be intense. A relaxing break reduces stress while enabling you to retain information better. So, what’s the best way to take that break? Here are 4 effective ways to approach it.

1. Short, regular breaks are best

Completing assignments or studying for exams can raise anxiety levels. Short breaks every 60 or 90 minutes will turn that stress into positive energy, giving you recharge and a refocus. We’re all different so you can be flexible with the length of those breaks, they can be a little shorter or a little longer. Some studies suggest 15 minutes is a good length.

2. Be active.

Move, stretch, go for a short walk, take a shower. Gentle activity during these breaks, after long periods of sitting still, will give you that extra added boost.

3. Healthy diet, healthy mind

Don’t launch into study sessions on an empty stomach. A nutritious snack before you commence is recommended. Keep a glass or bottle of water by your side and keep hydrated.

4. Music—not TV, video gaming or social media

A TV program, gaming and checking up on social media are mental distractions. They can lure you too far out of the learning zone. Listen to a favourite piece of music instead, perhaps even dance. Once again, you’re releasing tension before getting back to the books.

The short study break is an important part of the overall process.

You are replenishing your mind and body. This, in turn, will enhance your productivity during study, regardless of the subject, whether it’s a childcare course, an English course, marketing and communication, hospitality, or other. No matter the industry in which you go to work, learning to pace yourself and maintain your energy will ensure you perform to your very best. It’s a study skill, but it’s also a job skill and a life skill.
