Hospitality Students Win Restaurant Innovation Competition!

What started out as a chance to enter a fantastic competition has grown into an unbelievable success story for our Hospitality students, the Hospitality Management program, the School of HRT and Humber College.

Championed by Nicole Chuchmach, Heidi Ahrens and Krista Emery submitted a unique, innovative idea for an “Amateur Hospitality Certificate Program” for high school students. The mission of their innovation is to encourage young adults to consider careers in the food and beverage industry. 

There were a total of 19 submissions and Krista and Heidi were invited along with 7 other university teams to present to a panel of judges at the University of Guelph. The Humber team was chosen as one of the three finalists to compete at the Restaurants Canada Show in Toronto’s Direct Energy Centre. 

Heidi and Krista will receive $3,000 plus sessions with legal, financial and creative firms to help develop their innovation. With the expert coaching of Faculty Nicole Chuchmach. 

We look forward to watching their innovation become a reality here at Humber!

Congratulations to our Humber students!
