The training program will be a blend of the basic courses to be a proficient cook (with an emphasis on marine cuisine) and the courses that are the first steps to being an employee in the maritime sector, especially a seafarer with basic knowledge on entrepreneurship, supply chain management and management in general.
Cul-Mar-Skills project will also to prepare a maritime cookbook to contain the recipes that reflect the culture of the participating countries. In this way, it will prevent their maritime culinary culture to fade away.
