The first generation of 11 graduates recently finished training at the Puratos Bakery School in São Paolo. The students aged 17 to 21 recently received their “Professional Qualification for Bakery, Confectionery and Chocolate,” and are the first graduates of the program at the Puratos Bakery School in Brazil.

They each completed 828 hours of training over two years, and received the necessary theoretical knowledge in baking. The school in São Paolo is the second education project undertaken by Puratos. The company launched the first education project in India, where Puratos operates since 2008. It was difficult to find such profiles in India, because the schooling system here does not provide a structured curriculum for bakery.

The first batch of students at the non-profit PuratosSanskaar Foundation School graduated in 2016, in Navi Mumbai. Moving from simple breads to complex desserts over a two-year intensive period, 16 students completed the first- generation course.
