Eight entrepreneurs are taking part in a workshop on the best way to make pastries and fries.

The six-day workshop to end Saturday is taking place at the Seychelles Hospitality and Tourism Training College (SHTTC) and is being conducted by a qualified chef, Mr Hudson Philo.

The aim of the workshop, organised by the Seychelles Industrial Development Corporation (SIDEC), is to further improve the skills of entrepreneurs working in bakeries or snack shops so as to upgrade the quality of their products.

The workshop consists of both theory and practical sessions and at the end the participants will receive certificates.

According to Mr Juan Payet, the Senior Project officer from SIDEC, the training is helping the participants to correct the mistakes they were making.

For instance, he said, most of them needed to refresh their knowledge on how to properly make the dough for feyte and croissant.

The other workshop targeting businesses on SIDEC's calendar for this month is "Managing a Small Firm."
