Year 13 student Jason Wu is currently undertaking a Hospitality course at the Otago Polytechnic.

I currently attend a hospitality course at Polytech every Friday. I am learning about food and developing my skills in the hospitality trade. I am interested in studying cookery and I am hoping doing this course will improve my knowledge.

I have met new people from other schools. My supervisors are very supportive especially when I need further instructions. We have made bread, kebabs and soups. I enjoy cooking for the whole day. We have an hour of theory reinforcing what we have practically learnt.

I have found this course to be very helpful and recommend it to anyone who is interested in working in the hospitality industry.
