Catering and cafeteria assistant trainee for the Self-Government's Cafeteria TAMU

The TAMU cafeteria offers an internship in catering and cafeteria assistance.

About TAMU

TAMU prepares daily breakfast and buffet between 60-150 portions. The staff prepares the food from scratch, such as cold cuts, breakfast products, and baking bread based on Greenlandic and Nordic dietary guidelines. In addition, we arrange meeting catering for meetings, courses, etc. in the Self-Government. Furthermore, there is a refrigerated display case with our own selection. Fresh and well-presented buffet with good ergonomic working conditions is prioritized. Our dietary areas currently cover a daily offering for diabetics as well as people with lactose and gluten intolerance.

TAMU started in April 2017, so there is room for input and suggestions for new opportunities. TAMU has a skilled team consisting of 1 cafeteria manager, 1 trained chef, 1 cafeteria assistant, and 1 experienced nutrition assistant. The team is very self-sufficient in planning their own workday and their own areas of responsibility, where everyone contributes with good humor and a positive tone in a learning environment where collaboration is highly prioritized. Our goal is to be an attractive training place, and in collaboration, we will continuously work together on how to ensure this goal.

The working hours are 40 hours a week between 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM from Monday to Friday. There are no evening, weekend, or holiday shifts. The cafeteria is closed between Christmas and New Year.
