The Sapling

The Sapling is a training restaurant set up by SHATEC and it exists for a simple reason – to provide our students with real-life experiences where they get to hone their craft, learn to think on their feet and to strengthen their confidence in dealing with the different situations that may happen in a restaurant. This period of intensive practical training moulds them and prepares them for a bright career in the hospitality industry. The Sapling reflects SHATEC’s vision for its students – to begin as saplings but to mature into magnificent trees. It is our hope for these big trees to then serve as nurturing influences to new young and aspiring plants, lending them a hand in their sapling-to-tree journey, and to continue the cycle of succession to constantly renew talent pool for the culinary and hospitality scene.
