LCCI Global Qualifications, in collaboration with Forth Valley College, Scotland, successfully conducted a mobility programme for culinary and hospitality management students in Nepal from February 4 to 20.

The initiative aimed to enhance Nepal’s hospitality sector by fostering international collaboration, knowledge exchange, and skill development. The programme covered key cities, including Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Bharatpur, and Pokhara, focusing on sustainable cooking, waste management, food safety, and soft skills development.

Participants engaged in hands-on training, including sustainable cooking practices, community-based culinary projects, and HACCP food safety training. Additionally, expert-led sessions on waste management and sustainability encouraged eco-friendly practices in Nepalese hospitality businesses. Faculty members from Forth Valley College and LCCI-affiliated institutions exchanged insights on global hospitality standards and Nepalese culinary traditions.

The programme’s outcomes included enhanced industry exposure, practical training, and strengthened global partnerships. It positioned Nepal as an emerging hub for hospitality education while promoting sustainability and international standards. The success of this initiative has paved the way for future collaborations, ensuring Nepal’s hospitality professionals remain competitive in the global market.

This milestone initiative highlights Nepal’s growing reputation in hospitality and tourism, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and internationally recognised hospitality practices.
