South Africa seeks bartenders
South Africa-based firm Bartenders Workshop has unveiled a scheme in partnership with Havana Club to help those from disadvantaged areas learn how to become professional bartenders.
The free training programme will see 20 people from Cape Town and 20 from Johannesburg chosen to attend a three-day bartenders’ development programme course, which promises to reach the standard required by five star venues.
In addition to receiving their certificate upon completing the course, each individual will be given a cocktail recipe book written by Bartenders Workshop founder Etienne Schlechter, bartending kit and entry into the intermediate level course.
The initiative aims to help solve the urgent demand in South Africa for skilled bartenders to fill positions in the growing number of high end bars. In keeping with this need, a number of venues have expressed an interest in offering interviews to participants.
