Sam Ayyash, the founder of Petra Group, wanted his company to give something back to the industry. The best he could think about was supporting the students. The Lansvale-based hospitality dealer is providing chef’s uniforms, including jacket, trousers, neckerchief, apron and hat, to students who face problems in paying for all the equipment required for the commercial cookery course at TAFE NSW.
It is important to motivate and encourage students to perform better in their careers. That’s why; Petra Group is also awarding the top performers with prizes at the end of year graduation. It will include vouchers for Petra hospitality supplies and customized chef jackets with the student’s name and the TAFE logo.
Being supportive of students
Ayyash says that Petra Group strives for excellence, just like the students who are learning their skills. The company is committed to supporting TAFE NSW students in the future. Currently, Petra Group provides shopfitting services for all types of hospitality businesses in Sydney, Australia. Being supportive with the students gives Petra Group an opportunity to give back to the hospitality industry and allow them to support future leaders of the industry.

The commercial cookery headteacher of TAFE NSW, Deborah Whitebread, says that the company approached her to see how it can help the students. She found that providing them with uniforms would be the best option because the students usually struggle to pay for all the equipment they require when they are just starting with the course.
