Singapore, 28 March 2024 – To address the issue of talent shortage in Singapore’s F&B industry, JUMBO Group of Restaurants launches JUMBO Academy graced by the Guest of Honour, Ms. Low Yen Ling, Minister of State for the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY). JUMBO Academy is a homegrown training institute dedicated to cultivating a skilled F&B workforce.
Through the JUMBO Academy, JUMBO Group reinforces its commitment to be an incubator of talents in Singapore’s F&B industry by deepening its advocacy for and promotion of Asian culinary and hospitality training. JUMBO aims to attract and support more talents looking for F&B careers by offering upskilling, reskilling, internship, and scholarship opportunities open to students and aspiring mid-career professionals alike.
Upskilling and Reskilling: Developing a Resilient F&B Workforce
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s 2022 National Day message emphasised the importance of upskilling and reskilling to sustain Singapore’s economic progress. In the Budget 2024 speech, Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Lawrence Wong highlighted SkillsFuture as one of the initiatives to provide upskilling support for employers and individuals, showing the government’s continued efforts to boost workforce resilience and development.
Mr Ang Kiam Meng, Group Chief Executive Officer of JUMBO Group of Restaurants, expresses the Group’s efforts in support of the lifelong learning vision: “Building on our 30-year tradition of ‘Bonding people through food’, JUMBO is dedicated to nurturing talent in culinary and hospitality excellence through our industry expertise.”

“We believe food connects people and we are committed to shaping the future of this experience. Through JUMBO Academy, The Heart of Asian Hospitality, we will honour tradition while driving innovation to elevate Singapore’s status as a food paradise.”
Accessible and Applicable: Providing fundings, sponsorships, and hands-on experience
JUMBO Group believes that quality education should be accessible to everyone. As a Registered Training Provider, the Group works closely with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG) to provide course fee funding and grants to individuals and employers. JUMBO Group also works with Workforce Singapore (WSG) to leverage the Career Conversion Programme (CCP) to reskill mid-career workers. With the new JUMBO Academy, existing workers can be trained to take on higher-value jobs that provide good career prospects.
For those keen on exploring the world of F&B management, JUMBO Academy offers scholarship under its Management Associates Programme, which supports trainees through a fully-sponsored education (diploma or degree) in a relevant field of study. Aspiring individuals within JUMBO Group will also be offered a chance to join the Fast Track Programme that provides accelerated pathways for career advancement within JUMBO Group.

JUMBO also focuses on practical applicability across its programmes by adopting an innovative training approach that combines classroom teaching and hands-on practice. Such immersive experiences empower trainees with industry-standard skills and the confidence to step into their F&B career roles with readily useable skills.
In 2023, JUMBO was awarded the “Certified On-the-Job Training Centre” status by the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). This status affirms the JUMBO’s role as an industry leader in providing holistic workplace learning to support its trainees’ professional growth and personal development.
JUMBO x ITE partnership: Some 1,000 students to benefit over three years
Through a longstanding partnership, JUMBO has empowered ITE students in Culinary Arts and Hospitality Operations by providing practical learning experiences that extend beyond textbooks, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue their aspirations and thrive within the F&B industry.

During the JUMBO Academy launch ceremony on 27 March 2024, the two organisations also announced their continued collaboration by signing a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Under the MOU, both parties will commit to innovative initiatives such as the new JUMBO internship awards, internship opportunities, workshops, and learning journeys for some 1,000 ITE students.
“We are pleased to ink our partnership with JUMBO as part of our commitment to nurturing culinary talents. The internship opportunities, internship awards, learning journeys, and chef demo workshops offered by JUMBO, together with joint efforts such as food hackathons, will enrich our students’ learning experiences and enhance their motivation and passion as they embark on their culinary careers,” says Ms Low Khah Gek, Chief Executive Officer of ITE.

JUMBO and ITE will also continue its “JUMBO x ITE Culinary Hackathon”, a sustainability-themed challenge for ITE students that was first held in 2023. Through such out-of-classroom activities, the partners hope to inspire participants to become creative problem solvers in the face of challenges common in the dynamic F&B industry.

Creating a wholesome meal plan could be a struggle for both experienced and new cooks — especially a healthy one! Scrolling through social media for a recipe worth trying could be mind-numbing. Search results for a “healthy meal” would most likely lead to multiple choices of greens, and a drastic change in diet like this could be intimidating for most. Adapting to a flexitarian diet can be an easier approach.
This semi-vegetarian diet increases the consumption of plant or plant-based foods and beverages, along with smaller meat portions. Veega provides delicious and protein-rich options such as Veega Meat-Free Nuggets and Veega Meat-Free Burger Patty — dishes that even kids will enjoy. This is also perfect for the Lenten season.
Elevate your meals with Veega — mmmeaty without the meat! Check out a variety of recipes in Home Foodie and get to shop conveniently from San Miguel Mart.

including high internet penetration and widespread smartphone usage, providing
a solid foundation for the advancement of immersive technology. These solid
factors propel Indonesia’s immersive technology market forward.
Projections from IDC indicate a
significant growth trajectory, with a projected average annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 30.4% from 2020 to 2025. This growth is supported by increasing
demand for immersive experiences, broader content availability, and robust
technology infrastructure in Indonesia.

As a young lady going through this exciting journey of self-discovery and girlhood, you might often find yourself feeling lost or confused about many things – be it about relationships, consent, sex, contraception, and overall female reproductive health.
Don’t worry, you are not alone through all these! CHARMEE, one of the leading trusted feminine protection brands in the Philippines, can be your bestie and support system.
CHARMEE, together with Roots of Health, a highly respected reproductive health organization based in the Philippines, and an all-women team from the advertising agency Blackpencil Manila of the Leo Burnett Group celebrated girls through Project Roots where they learned correct information on sexual health, contraception, consent, and healthy relationships engagingly.
The project kicked off at Palawan High School, the second largest high school in the country, and was made more relatable and fun through interactive activities and colorful storytelling delivered through a surprising media – sanitary napkins!
Dear Diary
The activity opened with the female students being welcomed with the PAD-ibig Diary shelf that has a total of 24 diary designs and stories, all wrapped around CHARMEE feminine pads, open to the students to grab one for free.
Fun and visually appealing, these diaries contain “nakakakilig” stories with evidence-based scientific information, tackling important lessons on sexual education, spanning from busting common myths on reproduction and pregnancy to the basics of consent, healthy relationships, and communication.
To make it even more interesting and interactive, the activity included a dramatic reading by some of the school’s best actresses of some of the diary entries. The students were also encouraged to take selfies with the self-care mirrors scattered around the school gym.
Just Between Us Girls

Palawan High School female students joined the Project Roots kick off campaign
The fun learning sessions didn’t end there as a more in-depth talk with Roots of Health educators took place. The entertaining and engaging segment talked about the science behind what was “Chismis or Check” or true or false about sex and female health.
But even after the learning sessions concluded at Palawan National High School, empowering and supporting more than 5,000 female high school students continued. The PAD-ibig Diary shelf was placed in the school’s clinic, available for female students who need it.
Ensuring educational resources are readily available, murals in the girls’ toilets and by the clinic were also created as reminders. Roots of Health has also uploaded the PAD-ibig Diary stories online for easy viewing anytime. Not only that, but girls can also visit the organization’s Youth Clinics and regular TikTok Live Sessions called “Safe Magtanong Dito” where more questions can be asked and answered by credible educators.
Beyond the Feminine Pad

But this is just the beginning for CHARMEE! So many more young and adult women can watch out for the brand’s nationwide School Tour Activation in 2024, reaching girls from grades 7 to 12 (12 to 15 years old), and giving away sanitary napkin and pantyliner product samples. Aside from making sanitary pads accessible to young girls, this School Tour initiative also aims to educate the students on menstruation and proper menstrual hygiene practices through an educational flyer.
On top of these exciting events, CHARMEE will also launch digital educational campaigns about Menstrual Hygiene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
From PAD-ibig Diaries to educational campaigns, CHARMEE will continue to reach its goal of empowering girls and becoming their dependable partner in their journey to womanhood.
