Win – Stone School of Culinary Art (Pvt.) Ltd commenced its training activities in May 2004 to produce competent culinary practitioners to meet the demands of the hospitality trade. We are well equipped with our teaching faculty comprising experienced chefs, hotel school lecturers, Management trainers and University academics with specialized knowledge on the Hospitality Industry. The company extended its operations with the establishment of Win-Stone Recruitment (Pvt.) limited to recruitment of skilled persons for positions locally as well as abroad. We are now fully geared to support the Hospitality Industry by providing services in recruitment, training and development.
The School has completed courses for five batches of students numbering 291, of which over 80% has been successfully placed in employment. Our training lasting for a period of four months and six months on the job training completes a true transformation from basic school leaver to an accomplished practitioner in the hospitality Trade.
Win – Stone Hotel School is a registered training institution of the Vocational Training Authority of the Ministry Of Tertiary Education Of Sri Lanka. Ministry of Education has officially appointed our organization to train 200 unemployed youth who have completed their secondary Education under the Distance Education Modernization Project.
We have been actively engaged in Food promotions, work shops and food festivals in collaboration with some of the leading institutions in the country such as National Aquaculture Development Authority (NAQDA), Hayleys Limited and two leading multinational food companies Unilever and Nestle. We have taken the national responsibility of organizing awareness programmes for housewives with the assistance of SWARNAVAHINI- a leading private sector TV station in Sri Lanka . Under this project we have trained over 1000 housewives within two years as a social responsibility.
Hospitality trade Sector is among one of the fastest growing sectors in the world. Though Sri Lanka is currently going through a lean spell following the December 2004 Tsunami disaster the damaged physical infrastructure is now being rebuilt and a satisfactory return to normalcy is expected in 2006. Despite this setback main tourist attractions in the other parts of the Island continue to draw tourists with particular emphasis on UNESCO assisted Heritage projects. The growing domestic tourism, the Governments bold move to provide Tax exemptions to International Sports events held in Sri Lanka and the increasing trade with countries in the region boosted by Free Trade Agreements (FTA) is likely to exert pressure on the available capacity.
We are now fully geared to support the hospitality Industry by providing services in recruitment, training and development in keeping with the growing demands of the Industry. We posses the skills, confidence and competency at the highest levels to satisfy the product quality and standards demanded internationally.
