400;\">Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sports and Community Development, Senator Oscar George, believes that more emphasis must be placed on skill trades in order to create a pathway to become more resilient entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His comments came while delivering the featured address during the Dominica Youth Business Trust (DYBT) 2nd Annual Caterers Showcase recently held at the Prevo Cinemall Ball Room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This showcase is yet another platform to recognize and celebrate the creativity of exceptional young entrepreneurs who are carving their own paths in the catering industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI want to remind all of us here today that cultivating a productive skill is one of the ways that our young people can improve \u00a0their standard of living and earn decent livelihoods,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to pay more emphasis on skill trades since skills can create a pathway to become more resilient entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">George is of the view that in order\u00a0to become sustainable and address the many global challenges present today young people have to adopt a positive mindset towards developing practical skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf we can encourage young people to identify a particular skill, whatever skill it may be, whether electricals, whether catering, whatever it may be, I think that offers a wonderful opportunity for our young people,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">George continued, \u201cNot everyone has the ability to do maths and to get an office job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a matter of fact, George explained that many people with skills earn more money than some people who work in an office from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo we have to double up our efforts to attract young people into skills,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, George said he is confident that this Caterers Showcase will meet its objectives, leading to new partnerships, increased business opportunities and a brighter future for young caterers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, he indicated that evidence has shown that there is a gradual increase in the number of persons relying on sourcing food services around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis along with the growing number of social events, rising preferences for diversity, customized menus and the changing lifestyles of individuals are all driving growth in the overall market,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, George pointed out that the global catering service market is expected to grow by 4.28 percent globally during the period 2025 to 2033.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere will always be a demand for catering services,\u201d he stated. \u201cPeople have to eat, but the reality is that many people do not like to prepare foods, especially when preparing for large numbers of persons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">George added, \u201cSo, there is a real opportunity in the catering industry and I want to urge our young entrepreneurs to take that opportunity and maximize it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He urged all the caterers present at the event to be mindful that it is not just an opportunity for showcasing culinary expertise, but it\u2019s also about building connections, networking and establishing themselves as trusted and reliable caterers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, George told caterers that in order to do so they must be self-motivated, self-disciplined, innovative and driven.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd I always say when I speak, when referring to catering, we have to stop this thing of having only one caterer being used for so many activities, especially in the public sector,\u201d he remarked. \u201cThere are many young caterers who have similar potential to produce and we have to diversify and get our young caterers on board for our many activities in both the private and public sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He further urged caterers to recognize the significance of this moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSee this opportunity to showcase not only your culinary skills, but also your determination and passion for the art of catering,\u201d George encouraged.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By availing themselves of these opportunities, George believes these caterers are not only promoting their business, but are also contributing to the growth of the catering industry and the economic development of Dominica.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the public and private sector entities, George encouraged them to support these young entrepreneurs by considering them for their next upcoming event.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBy doing so, you are not just investing in their business, but also in the future of Dominica\u2019s culinary landscape,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">George also took the opportunity to commend the DYBT in taking the lead in organizing yet another successful Caterers Showcase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sports and Community Development, Senator Oscar
