At Taylor’s Culinary Institute, our dedication to fostering lifelong learning and empowering all generations was exemplified in the recent ‘Healthy Baking’ workshop. Held as part of the U3A@Taylor’s initiative, the programme was specially designed for seniors and aligned with Taylor’s University’s Education 2030 vision and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health & Well-being). This initiative reflects our commitment to promoting wellness, inclusivity, and meaningful education for the broader community.
The workshop, led by Chefs, Azuralisda Mohd Ghazali and Massyittah Omar, offered more than just lessons in crafting delicious and nutritious baked goods. Participants were also introduced to the entrepreneurial possibilities of their new skills. They learned how to create market-ready products and were guided on strategies to sell their baked goods, providing them with tools to explore side income opportunities. This blend of culinary arts and business acumen empowered attendees to turn their love for baking into a practical and rewarding pursuit.
Focusing on the intersection of personal fulfilment and practical application, the workshop encouraged participants to enhance their baking techniques while embracing the potential for financial independence. Beyond learning healthier recipes, attendees gained a renewed sense of confidence and purpose, inspiring them to remain active socially and economically during their later years.
The success of this event underscores Taylor’s Culinary Institute’s commitment to delivering transformative educational experiences that promote well-being and empowerment. As we continue to innovate with programmes like this, we remain steadfast in our mission to support lifelong learning, foster inclusivity, and contribute to the growth of our diverse and dynamic community.
