VOTEC Thrills Students with Food Bazaar at Entrepreneurship Fair

Level 300 students of the Department of Vocational and Technical Education (VoTEC), University of Cape Coast turned the car park of Adehye Hall into a makeshift jumbo-size kitchen and food pavilions to prepare scrumptious meals as part of a five-day Entrepreneurship Fair.

The fair forms part of practical requirements for EVT 321: Small Business Management.

Some of the meals prepared by the students included jollof rice, fufu with goat light soup, banku and okro stew, rice and stew, among others. Buyers- mainly students and staff of the University - searched out their favourite mouth-watering foods on display.

The event was to hone the entrepreneurial and culinary skills of the students, who also received several orders from the consuming public through food delivery services.

Lecturers of the Department were conducted round the food pavilions to taste the prepared dishes and the cleanliness of the environment before awarding marks to the students.

The Head of the Department, Dr. (Mrs.) Patience Danquah Monnie commended the students for organising the competition.

She advised the public to eschew junk foods and rather consume nutritious Ghanaian dishes.

Some patrons expressed excitement and satisfaction with the various cuisines and asked for more of such events on campus.
