Talented bakers and pastry chefs, Nathan and Jarrod Toole, and retail operations manager, Taylor Stevenson are set to gain personal and professional development through completing the diploma.
"I've been working with the family business for ten years and have recently moved from being a baking supervisor to the role of being second-in-charge of production," Mr Stevenson said
"I needed to broaden my skillset and acquire the knowledge to be able to manage staff and have the confidence to run business meetings. I've learnt how to manage people, develop skills in time management and I'm now aware of how to manage issues and conflicts amongst staff."
"I enjoyed the positive learning environment. Not only did I learn from the industry qualified and experienced teachers, I learnt from other like-minded students who were looking to advance their careers and businesses.
"I had just been promoted to the role of cake department supervisor, and EarlyRise Baking Co. was not only looking to grow the retail business in Dubbo and Orange but add new opportunities into the mix also.
"Investing in my skills has led to me being able to lead and manage these commercial opportunities for the business successfully."
