Industry background

Pastry is a respected profession. For example, RJ, an internationally renowned pastry chef, has won the reputation of a conscientious pastry chef through his continuous efforts.

Forbes, a well-known financial magazine, teamed up with new york Reputation Institute, a global authoritative consultancy, to conduct a reputation survey of thousands of large enterprises around the world, and released the list of the most respected enterprises in the world in 2008. Group Bimbo, a large multinational baking company from Latin America, ranks in the top ten.

Western-style pastry chef, which is a profession in short supply of talents, is also included in the popular courses of TAFE technical training in Australia. Zhu Nianlin, chairman of China Bakery and Sugar Products Industry Association, said in an interview that China's baking industry has developed at a high speed of more than 20% in the past two years. However, because China is too big, there are too many divisions from first-class cities to fourth-class cities, and the baking industry is far from saturated, so the demand for talents in the future will be considerable.

At the same time, the rapid development of the industry has also brought about a huge talent demand gap. In Rongcheng and other large and medium-sized cities, pastry chefs and bakers are sought after by industry enterprises and are very popular. It is difficult for enterprises to recruit professionals with good foundation. Even if the requirements for professional skills are not high at the time of recruitment, no suitable talents can be recruited.

In order to solve the "talent shortage" of enterprises, many enterprises try to invite professional western teachers to enter the enterprise for paid training, but this way is far from meeting the needs of enterprises and raising the cost of employing people, but the results are minimal. The insiders believe that to truly solve the talent demand of enterprises, we should rely more on the strength of professional vocational training institutions.
