On Tuesday 13th May 2014, the French Minister of Agriculture Mr. Le Foll makes a stop on his official China tour to visit the International Trade Fair Bakery China that takes place in Shanghai from May 13th to May 16th.
Lesaffre Greater China and charity program Shanghai Young Bakers (SYB) have signed a partnership agreement on training employees of companies such as Carrefour China.
The agreement was inked at the International Trade Fair Bakery China in Shanghai on May 12, 2014.
“Signing this new contract will enable us to strengthen our partnership with Lesaffre and improve the quality of our training,” said Floriane Lemoine, project manager at SYB.
The organization has been training underprivileged Chinese the skills of traditional French bakery since 2009.
Under Carrefour Foundation’s impulse, who has sponsored the program since its beginnings, many French food and hospitality companies in Shanghai have since joined the program and trained almost 100 young Chinese people the French know-how and have access to jobs in Shanghai’s growing bakery market.
The content of SYB training was developed with the support of the baking experts of Lesaffre, who taught the three first batches of SYB students.
Lesaffre continued to support SYB through in-kind and financial sponsorship, and by sharing its expertise with SYB bakery teachers.
