For employers
Tell us the role. We will bring you the right people.
A CV does not tell you who can handle a busy kitchen. ChefLink puts you in touch with Kofas students and alumni who have trained hands-on, so you start with people who already know the basics.
Hands-on training. Personal introductions.
Depending on the course, candidates have practised African and continental cooking, baking, pastry, cake decoration, kitchen hygiene, food safety, costing and presentation.
We introduce you to suitable graduates. You still do your own interview and checks, agree your own terms and make the final hiring decision.
