Former Head Chef Emile completed the program and made the career switch to become a butcher. Emile: “I discovered the Van der Zee job opening at Flexspecialisten. When I saw they were looking for someone for Van der Zee Breda, I applied right away. Thanks to my experience as a chef, I naturally already had some basic knowledge of meat. However, during the training program, I quickly realized that my knowledge was limited. So I found the training very valuable and interesting!”
Emile has since been promoted to Assistant Department Manager of the Butchery at Van der Zee in Breda. Would you like to read Emile’s full story? Click the button below.
