FOR, WITH, AND FROM THE Isle of Harris Distillers Ltd. JOBS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION The population of the Isle of Harris has declined by almost 50% over the last 50 years as young people leave to seek work far from our shores. These changes threaten local traditions, culture, and language as well as leaving schools and village numbers dwindling. The Isle of Harris Distillery was built to help address these issues by creating sustainable local employment and offer long-term careers for those who wish to stay and set down roots in their island home. From distilling and blending, to marketing and hospitality - there are a wide variety of skillsets and development opportunities available to local people as we create two beautiful Outer Hebridean spirits and bring them to the world. We regularly offer placements and internships for young people to help them explore potential career paths, and we've developed our current distilling team through formal apprenticeships and training. Together with other like-minded island enterprises we seek to act as a catalyst of change and a symbol of promise for this generation and those still to come.

🌟 Internship Task #2 at GFSS: Enhancing Food Safety through Quality Control and Recall Plans 🌟 I'm excited to share my progress on the second task of my internship at Global Food Safety Solutions (GFSS) under the guidance of Junaid Bin Shakeel √ In this task, I delved into a comparative analysis of various quality control techniques used in the food industry, such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Each of these methods has its strengths and weaknesses, but after a thorough evaluation, I found that a combination of Six Sigma and SPC is particularly effective for managing high-risk food products. Six Sigma's focus on defect reduction, paired with SPC's real-time monitoring capabilities, offers a robust solution for ensuring food safety and maintaining process stability. Moreover, I explored the critical steps required to implement an effective product recall plan. In a scenario where contamination is detected, quick and decisive action is paramount. From initial assessment and containment to regulatory notification and stakeholder communication, a well-coordinated recall plan can significantly mitigate risks and protect consumer health. #FoodSafety #QualityControl #SixSigma #SPC #Internship #GFSS #FoodIndustry #ContinuousImprovement

I've made a career change. This post is about introducing to some and reintroducing to others Chef Demetrius. This career change happened because of burnout. I was mentally and physically burned out from the Information Technology field. This was directly impacting the quality of my life, my satisfaction with my job, and the work-life balance. Covid and post-covid were extremely hard times for me. Some personal life decisions and also battling a depression I didn't want to acknowledge didn't make it any better. I really didn't know what to do with myself, but I knew I didn't want to go back into that field. Fast-forward some time. As I began to do some self-reflecting, I asked myself what are things that I enjoyed doing. What would I do all day with no pay? With these things in mind, cooking was it! I have always enjoyed it, I had done it many times for people, and I always got great reviews. So I made the decision that I would become a professional chef. I'm not sure exactly how long from the time I made that decision until the time an opportunity to attend a culinary apprenticeship came up. I was excited about my new journey. As the new journey began, it didn't take long to adjust to any of the things that were required of me except the personnel. The apprenticeship was an exciting and very motivating time. I enjoyed being in the kitchen and around professional chefs. At the start of the apprenticeship, the Exec. Chef told me that I would need to humble myself if I wanted to make it. The initial statement caused a little resentment, but I told myself, this man is where I want to be, so just relax and take heed of what he's saying. After that, everything else was pretty much straightforward. I will forever be grateful to all the wonderful members of the UNITE HERE Chicago Hospitality Institute. Fast-forward a little more time, and I have already held a cooking job at a prestigious law firm in Chicago. I am the Head Chef of a food cafe in a 2-tower residential building, and I started a Private Chef and meal prep business with my partner. While the entire thing has not been peaches and cream, I gained valuable experience in so many things. I know for a fact that customer service is the #1 thing in this field, and luckily for me, I'm really good with people. It's an amazing feeling to go from sitting behind a desk staring at screens all day to now being in a kitchen creating dishes that people love. Now moving forward, I want to grow this business, and I want to work with other chefs who are passionate about cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I am open to all ideas on how I can accomplish both. I am also letting you know that I am available for hire if you need either of my services. I would encourage you to reach out and test the menu development process. I am still laying the foundations for these future endeavors, so I would also encourage you to come along for the journey. I still need a lot of help and guidance if you're interested.

This bachelor's degree program consists of three academy years that blend internship & practical training with rigorous study in pastry & culinary as well as in business and sustainability & strong focus on academic studies. #culinaryartsbachelordegree #culinaryartsbachelorsdegree #whatisculinaryartsdegree
