Whilst working as part of the Food Service all our staff undergo traineeships in kitchen operations, which equips them with the skills and knowledge necessary to find long term work in the hospitality industry. Bungala has an on-site trainer and assessor which allows us to tailor make training programs to meet the specific training needs of Aboriginal people.

As a non-for-profit indigenous corporation, Bungala self-funds the Food Service Program. All profits made through the sale of products are reinvested back into the program. Being an Aboriginal Corporation, we understand the barriers and challenges that some women face when trying to find work, hence the program was set up to be flexible and inclusive. When at work the participants are exposed to a realistic work environment where they are shown how to work efficiently, read recipes and follow set instructions. These values that are instilled into participants will allow them to be stand out candidates for any future jobs they apply for.

Participants of the program are also able to transfer knowledge gained to their homes, preparing nourishing food for their families. This has a flow on effect which improves the quality of life for many people in the community and reduces the burden on our already strained health system.
