Food & Beverage Business (C46)

Angeline TanHead of Country, Unilever Food Solutions, SingaporeAgainst the global backdrop of a rapidly evolving food and beverage sector, the Professional Competency Model (PCM) is a timely approach to equipping students with the relevant knowledge and skills for the future of work. The curricula on Future Food & Sustainability Management, co-developed by Unilever Food Solutions (UFS) and Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP), ensures that students understand the trends, opportunities and realities of the sector while gaining an appreciation of how various competencies come together at the workplace, or in this case, the kitchen. As one of the world’s top food service companies with over 250 professional chefs in over 70 countries, UFS is deeply committed to purpose and sustainability through strong brands such as Knorr, Best Foods, Hellmann’s, The Vegetarian Butcher and Carte d’Or. We are excited to collaborate with NYP in nurturing the next generation of talents in Singapore.
