SINGAPORE: The Institute of Technical Education (ITE) is now a member of the French global culinary network called the Institut Paul Bocuse (IPB) Worldwide Alliance.
The agreement was signed on Thursday, making ITE the only member from Southeast Asia joining other renowned hospitality and restaurant management institutions worldwide.
ITE said it was selected for its training programmes for industry chefs in the region.
The French institute produces some of the world's finest chefs in French cuisine.
The agreement follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the two institutes in February 2008.
The MOU covers five broad areas - collaboration on staff capability development, student exchange and attachment, curriculum development, delivery and academic articulation, and joint organisation of courses and events.
IPB is the first private culinary school to partner a French university, University Lyon 3, to offer degree courses in Hotel and Restaurant Management. - CNA/vm
