On 16 July 2025, the Culinary Arts Center of Azerbaijan (CÀSÀ) formalized a new partnership with the Baku State Vocational Education Center for Tourism and Social Services through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This strategic collaboration aims to strengthen vocational education in culinary arts and better align training programs with the evolving demands of the labor market.

The joint program will provide students with professional culinary training that combines theoretical knowledge with practical, hands-on experience in real-world work environments.

Kelvin Chong, Director of CÀSÀ, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating,

"This MoU strengthens our mission to deliver world-class culinary education and practical training, preparing our students to excel in competitive culinary industries and meet the needs of employers."

This partnership is part of CÀSÀ’s ongoing commitment to workforce development and raising standards in culinary arts education in Azerbaijan, ensuring that students graduate with the skills, experience, and professional support necessary for career success.
