Palmerson’s oldest fine dining restaurant is celebrating three decades of service.
Along with Charles Darwin University’s Palmerston campus, the Karawa Training Restaurant is marking its 30 years with an open day and a full program of workshops and activities.
Future students will have the opportunity to explore a range of training options with a tour through the facilities throughout the campus’s Open Day events on Saturday, July 12.
The open day, from 10am to 2pm, will include workshops on how to make delicious drinks or bread.
There is also cooking classes and demonstration in sport, beauty therapy, and hairdressing.
Visitors will get a behind-the-scenes look at the commercial kitchen that spawned so many other commercial kitchens across the NT and beyond.
CDU TAFE deputy chief executive (Professional Service Industries) Robert Schwerdt said the Karawa Training Restaurant had proven popular with Territorians over the past three decades.
“What makes Karawa Training Restaurant so special and enjoyed by locals is not just the excellent service and quality of food that is prepared and presented by our students, but the unique experience itself,” Mr Schwerdt said.
“The community enjoys seeing young people practising their skills and demonstrating them to the public in a lovely atmosphere overlooking a beautiful lake and campus.”
Mr Schwerdt said the skills and training students received during their studies were tailored to the NT’s workforce and industry.
“The campus is unique due to its location within the Palmerston community, with easy access for locals, which is close to home, and the vibe on campus is provided by staff who have a passion for vocational education and their respective industries,” Mr Schwerdt said.
“There will be opportunities for young people looking for career options or even people looking for a career change to find specific information that they need.”
