I am Bijay Bishwokarma, a Canopy Nepal Excellence Scholar - FESSHIP since 2015. I am currently living in Welcome Boys Hostel, Kathmandu. I am originally from Syangja. Currently, I am working at Uncles’ Bakery located at Lazimpat, Kathmandu.

After completing my +2 in 2019, I wanted to pursue a Diploma in Cooking as I have always dreamt of being a Chef since my childhood. Later, I was offered a short-term scholarship for Barista Training and Diploma in Cooking to be completed at Cocina Mitho Chha.

My journey at Cocina Mitho Chha started with a short-term scholarship and joined Barista Training. The training was for 2 weeks where I got to know all the basic knowledge of coffee from start to latte art. During the training, the trainer ensured that we meet the required standards for a barista. After completion of the course and passing the final test, a certificate of completion was issued stating I have successfully attended and completed the course.

Later, after completing the 2 weeks of Barista Training, I joined Diploma in Cooking which included 3 months in-house training at Cocina Mitho Chha followed by an internship at Radisson Hotel in the remaining Diploma period. During the internship period, I was assigned as a Chef staff for 3 months to work with the Bakery team where I learned to bake bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, and pies. Along with it, I also learned to be professional, the importance of teamwork, and networking.

Canopy Nepal Scholarship Program-FESSHIP has not only supported me in my studies, accommodation, and/or training but also took care of me during my health issues. During my +2, I struggled with some serious health issues for a year or so but the management team always monitored my health issues closely and supported as required.

My journey towards my career has been very easy due to the support from FESSHIP. FESSHIP has supported me since the inception period and created an environment for me to pursue my aim to be Chef. I have recently completed my Diploma in Cooking and Barista training and am working full time in Uncle’s Bakery. FESSHIP is the main reason who I am today and living my dream.
