SUPPORTING STUDENT CHEFS WITH THE RIGHT CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Visionary Chefs - What's it all about?
At visionarychefs.com, we're focussing on new strategies to reduce mental health issues within professional kitchens. Whilst numerous charities and organisations provide invaluable support when things go wrong, we're going one step further and targeting prevention at source - colleges, universities and student chefs generally.
To accomplish this our online database can match employers to student chefs who sign up to the Visionary Chefs Charter. We see our charter as providing best practice initiatives in preventing mental health issues.
