New European Initiative Upgrades the Profession of Waiter in Cyprus

A new European initiative, the MICROIDEA project, aims to upgrade the profession of waiter in Cyprus through the introduction of micro-credentials and certified training. The project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ program, develops an educational program that combines theory, practice and certification according to international standards. In Cyprus, the implementation is undertaken by Eurosuccess Consulting and the Nicosia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with certification by TÜV Hellas. The program aims to fill skills gaps in the catering sector and enhance the professional prospects of waiters.
