TIRANA – “A cuisine chef does never arrive at the destination. He is always in a long search of perfection and novices. But it is a beautiful road never getting you bored,” the President of the ‘Neranxi Company’, Nikollaq Neranxi has said in the inauguration ceremony of the 2018 – 2019 Academic School year of the Neranxi Culinary Institute in Tirana.
“There would not be a more beautiful manner to celebrate the tenth anniversary of our school in the atmosphere of this wonderful view,” Mr. Neranxi said on September 17, 2018, launching the second decade of the Institute which is called the gate of the ‘Tirana’s culinary aroma’ where many culinary professions have been taught.
More than a thousand students were present at the ceremony attended by representatives of the diplomatic corps in Tirana, businessmen and customers, relatives of the students and journalists.
In his emotional greeting, Mr. Neranxi extended his thanks to the Tirana German development cooperation agency, GIZ, for the cooperation with the Institute.
“A sincere thanks to GIZ for the two-year support provided to the students of vulnerable families as well as for the help given to the performance of the Neranxi Culinary Institute,” Mr. Neranxi said, thanking also Albania’s municipalities across the country which have picked up the students to attend the Institute.
In the meantime, he said that hundreds of students who graduated from the Institute already work in Albania and abroad.
“Some of them have started their businesses and are doing well. We continue to support them as they are customers of the Neranxi Co.,” said Neranxi.
Ms. Josephine Desepada from Philippines, a chef and professor of Asian Cuisine at Neranci Co., said among others: “This company has given many opportunities to Albanians, particularly to youth, to find a job. In addition, more than the profession itself, students have learned much about social life.”
What GIZ official told students
“I can assure you that you are at the right address. On behalf of GIZ, I would like to wish you all a great academic year,” said Esra Misrahi, a programme coordinator of GIZ’s ProSEED Programme in her address at the inauguration ceremony.
“I would like to say that our ultimate goal is to boost employment, especially young people. In that spirit, we support private providers in Albania, and Neranxi is one of them in that respect; we are very happy and satisfied about our cooperation with Neranxi Co,” GIZ’s Misrahi told the students and participants at the launch ceremony of the 2018 – 2019 academic year of the Neranxi Culinary Institute in Tirana.
