STUDENTS from hospitality school William Angliss Institute recently took their training to Melbourne’s trams tempting commuters with finger food they had created.

In cooperation with the City of Melbourne the students for the second year commandeered Melbourne’s City Circle tram services for the Tasty Young Melbourne project as part of National Youth Week.

Students boarded the City Circle Trams for four circuits with members of the public encouraged to board trams at various advertised times to enjoy the wares provided by William Angliss students.

William Angliss Institute chief executive, David Riley, said the project was being repeated following its success last year.

“The students were briefed by the City’s Indigenous Officer and City Ambassador with insights into what makes Melbourne special, which they imparted to travellers whilst they served up the finger food they had prepared as part of the project,” Riley said.

“Many of these young students have come to William Angliss Institute after facing challenging life experiences. VCAL programs including this project, ‘Tasty Young Melbourne’, offer interesting and engaging opportunities for learning.

“It is heart warming to see these young people go on to successful pathways and greater opportunities in their social and working lives.”
