Preparing faculty and staff beyond the classroom.

Dean Joji Rose Parondo-Ang conducted a comprehensive training for faculty and staff chaperones on student trips, emphasizing the importance of safety, leadership, communication, and responsible tour management in creating meaningful educational travel experiences.

The session equipped chaperones with practical strategies in trip preparation, student supervision, risk management, and emergency response, ensuring that every journey becomes a safe, enriching, and memorable learning opportunity for students.

At IChef International Culinary School, we believe that educational tours are more than just travel experiences; they are extensions of the classroom that foster cultural understanding, personal growth, and global exposure.
