AB Mauri sets new national standard for baking in Sri Lanka

AB Mauri Lanka Pvt Limited, a leader in yeast and bakery ingredient solutions, has reached new heights in National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) for its employees.

Recently, more than two dozen employees successfully completed nationally recognized NVQ certification training on multiple levels that assess individual capabilities, competencies and skills in specific job roles and responsibilities.

“We are committed to empowering the baking industry in Sri by helping provide high-quality finished baked goods,” said Surajdeen Seiyad, Director AB Mauri Lanka Pvt Limited. “Our team maintains high standards, and this certification training is representative of the excellence we strive for in the careers of our employees but also the businesses of our customers.”

Unlike traditional academic qualification, NVQs are focused on hands-on experiences, making them an ideal choice for industries like the bakery sector where these skills and expertise are crucial. In today’s dynamic job market, employers are increasingly seeking candidates with not just theoretical knowledge but also practical skills relevant to their job functions. These formalized qualifications do play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between academic learning and applications found in the real world.

For baking, unique skill requirements are needed, ranging from precise measurement functions to intricate decorating techniques. Baking NVQ programming includes a range of modules that go even further to assess hygiene and safety protocols as well as customer service actions.

“Within the NVQ baker program, various training for our sales and technical experts was conducted at Levels III, IV and V,” said Sutharshini Navaratnaraja Manager, Human Resources, “Qualifying at these stages not only provides our team members with added confidence and knowledge in interactions with customers, but it also enables them to troubleshoot potential baking challenges and address opportunities as they arise. Ultimately, NVQ reflects our commitment to the baking industry here in Sri Lanka by fostering excellence, innovation and the highest of standards that have a profound and lasting impact well into the future.”
