Mr Dikuku Baking Program

Introduction

Skills are the key to opportunity, yet many in our community are denied access to stable employment due to a lack of practical training. To help close this gap, Mr. Dikuku Bakery is proud to present our Professional Baking Programme a hands-on initiative dedicated to equipping individuals with the craft of baking to secure roles in bakeries, restaurants, and the broader hospitality sector.

This programme goes beyond basic recipes it is a movement to empower township residents through specialized culinary skills and enterprise support. Participants will experience intensive, practical training in our baking centres, gaining the expertise needed to transition from unemployment to becoming skilled professionals who can earn and live with dignity.

Why It Matters

Employment should be accessible to all, yet many continue to face barriers such as:

• Skills Shortages: Individuals lack the specific technical training required by local businesses and restaurants.

  
  

• Limited Opportunities: Jobs are scarce for those without formal experience or certified practical skills.

  
  

• Financial Constraints: Families often cannot afford expensive culinary schools or private training.

Every participant trained through Mr. Dikuku directly strengthens our community’s resilience by turning local talent into a skilled workforce ready for the modern economy.
