Taronga Zoo staff volunteer to help out Windgap's hospitality team!👍🥣
Last week, special guests Angie and Sophie from Taronga Zoo Sydney, visited our catering team to help out in the cafe, preparing lunch for Windgap staff and participants.
Each Monday our training crew have been working off site in the Taronga Zoo nutrition kitchen, helping to prepare food and meal bars for the animals. So it was wonderful that Angie and Sophie offered to help out and visit us to learn more about Windgap. Thanks guys!
Windgap's hospitality program is offered through our School Leavers program (SLES) and for ADE Supported Employees, who are seeking new pathways to employment.
