Aprons on! 🔥 Café Kick Start is coming to CCNI’s Inverell campus.

There’s only so much you can learn sitting in a classroom. But with our new hands-on Foundation Skills program, you’ll start by creating simple dishes, build skills for work as the menu grows, then bring it all together in a final food service!

And according to CCNI hospitality trainer Brodie Smith, you don’t need to arrive knowing your way around a kitchen. “Just do it! It can all be taught.”

From first dish to final service, click below to see what’s cooking at CCNI.

The course is fully funded for eligible students under the Ensuring Access to Foundation Skills Training program.

Ensuring Access to Foundation Skills Training is a joint initiative between the Australian and New South Wales governments.

Get hands-on with Café Kick Start at CCNI’s Inverell campus. Build foundation skills for work through practical cooking, hospitality and teamwork activities.

National Skills Week begins today, and this year’s theme couldn’t be more fitting: Life Changing.

Throughout the week, we’ll be celebrating students from across our region whose stories show how vocational education and training can change direction, create opportunity and open doors at every stage of life.

From taking the first steps towards a career to returning to learning or choosing an entirely new direction later in life, there is no single pathway – or age – for learning new skills.
