Speedmeals to train 1000 unemployed youths as chefs

A Nigeria’s fast growing food vendor brand, Speedmeals Mobile Kitchen is set to organise chef trainings aimed at empowering unemployed youths looking to pursue a career in catering. About a thousand young people are expected to undergo the weekdays and weekend classes which will run in batches.

The training sessions are scheduled for November 16 to December 19 at Speedmeals newly established training centre, 4 Falolu Street Surulere in Lagos will include online video lectures and off-line practical demonstration classes.

Speaking on the proposed training, the CEO of Speedmeals, Titus Igwe (one of the Igwe twins) said the chef training program is designed to enrich and impact lives especially the unemployed youths.

He lamented that most of the jobs in the Nigerian hospitality and catering industry are being undertaken by foreigners who seem to have better skills. ‘‘We want to upskill the Nigeria catering industry and give more opportunities to our innumerable youths who roam the streets in search of jobs. We strongly believe there are many of job opportunities in the hospitality and catering industry, but young people do not possess the required skills”.

“We are bringing in the best hands in the industry to teach the sessions,’’ said Tobias Igwe, head, Training at Speedmeals, noting the training, first-of-its-kind in Nigeria is in sync with the brand’s mission to develop local and continental cuisines that meet international standards. Speedmeals thrives on professionalism, speedy delivery, innovation and excellence in customer service.

Speedmeals plans to offer direct job placement to the top 100 participants in different establishments; internship opportunities to the top 300 participants; free entrepreneurship sessions for aspiring entrepreneurs, including mentoring and networking with industry’s best professionals.
