During his high school years Cydacio Morgan realised he had a passion for cooking and signed up for TCHTA’s Hospitality Adventure Summer Lit’l Chefs Programme in 2013, an opportunity which has propelled his future in Culinary Arts.
The former Lit’l Chef who is currently studying at Manchester Open-shaw College and pursuing a programme in Catering and Hospitality, is grateful for the recent donation of $1,000 by TCHTA through its Hospitality Adventure Programme, which gives him an opportunity to fulfill his culinary dreams.
“This is what we hoped for when we implemented the Summer Programme,” noted Stacy Cox, TCHTA’s Executive Director while presenting a cheque to Cydacio’s father. “A programme which allows students to hone their skills in the hospitality field and proves to them that their dreams of becoming top Chefs, hoteliers, mechanical engineers etc can be achieved,” she added.
Cox also added, “After participating in the 2013 Programme Cydacio was afforded the opportunity to intern at Seven Stars Resort for 6 weeks then went on to work at Parrot Cay Resort for almost 2 years where he was welcomed as part of the team. We are so grateful that these resorts along with countless others as well as many local businesses continue to come on board and participate in our annual Hospitality Adventure Summer Programme giving kids like Cydacio an opening into the Tourism and Hospitality world.”
Cydacio departed the island before he was able to collect the donation but sent a message through his father who collected the cheque on his behalf, “Pursuing a career in Culinary Arts is not easy but is worth it. I love what I do and I will not stop and am truly grateful for all the opportunities I have received in my drive to become one of the Top Chefs in the TCI.”
