Have you recently graduated as a chef, and would you like to apply your culinary expertise in an international, meaningful context? The Melting Pot Foundation is now offering a unique exchange placement at our culinary school, Um Mami, in Marrakesh, Morocco.

The programme offers:
Teaching experience – practice guiding others and communicating your expertise
Insigt into Moroccan gastronomy – work with local ingredients and techniques
International experience – strengthen your CV through a placement abroad
A strong professional and personal network– build relationships with chefs and educators
Professional field visits – visit producers, restaurants, and partner organisations
New perspective – renewed motivation and fresh insight into the culinary profession
Um Mami educates young Moroccans for employment in the country’s growing hospitality and restaurant sector. The exchange programme, therefore, offers a unique opportunity to both make a meaningful difference and develop professionally and personally.
