Speaking about the goals and activities of the "Yeremyan Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy", “Yeremyan Projects” General Director David Yeremyan said:

"In the beginning of 2017, we took an experimental step by establishing a small culinary school and passing all the knowledge and experience acquired from culinary and service fields to our students. And I must note that we have achieved impressive results. We were convinced that today a culinary school is a necessity where cooks, service staff will get theoretical knowledge and the opportunity put it into practice. Providing young people with professional orientation and education, we will be able to develop restaurant business culture, create competent and professional staff that will be able to step in for work both in Yerevan, or in other parts of the country, as well as in the HoReCa sector of overseas companies”.

 

David Yeremyan mentioned: "We have got wonderful youth who are prudent, free from complexes, initiative, willing to learn and adapt to the new. The only thing we need to do is to guide them and give correct professional orientation”.

 

On January 15, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the UK's Activate Learning-City of Oxford College and "Yeremyan Projects", which marked the start of cooperation between the two organizations. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding, Activate Learning-City of Oxford College becomes an exclusive partner of the "Yeremyan Culinary Arts and Hospitality Academy" in Armenia, as a result of which the Academy's educational programs will be developed and implemented cooperatively as well as they will develop the efficacy of the academic personnel and will provide both tutors and students with academic mobility.
