Food Institute of Malaysia (FIM) has introduced the Hospitality Certificate Sponsorship Programme (TSH), a special initiative aimed at providing asnaf students with the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and practical skills in the culinary field.
The programme focuses on skills training that leads to competency certification in culinary arts and food service. Students will undergo both theoretical and practical training at FIM for six months, including industrial training.
Through this approach, students not only learn the fundamentals of cooking and food preparation techniques, but will also be exposed to a more professional and structured learning environment.
The sponsorship initiative is implemented with the support of PNB’s Shariah Management Department through the Selangor Zakat Board (LZS), specifically to assist students from asnaf backgrounds in pursuing skills-based education without having to worry about financial constraints.
Throughout the programme, the sponsorship covers tuition fees, accommodation, as well as meals and beverages.
In addition, students will receive various forms of support and learning necessities, including aprons, training materials, and other essential supplies throughout their studies and training sessions.
As part of their career preparation, students will also receive a Food Handler Training Certificate recognised by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), Typhoid vaccination and opportunities for industrial training placement.
The programme provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and practical skills in the hospitality industry through a more structured and comprehensive learning experience at FIM, while strengthening their foundation in the culinary field.
