JOBBer Growth Journal | All Passed! The Rewards for Kashgar Youth in Shanghai
After the theory exam, Yue Liang felt a bit uneasy—there were a few questions she hadn’t prepared for. But it turned out her worry was unnecessary.
After months of systematic training and dozens of hours of hands-on practice, all three JOBB students from Xinjiang successfully passed the entry-level pastry chef certification, achieving excellent results.
This wasn’t just a skills test—it was the best recognition of their hard work and dedication.
💡 The Exam Wasn’t Hard—But They Never Slacked Off
For these three young bakers already handling real responsibilities at their internship sites, the entry-level pastry exam wasn’t too difficult.
Still, they took it seriously and gave it their all.
Despite packed internship schedules, the students squeezed in extra time to study.
In the days leading up to the theory test, Yue Liang used her one-hour-plus subway commute each day to do practice questions—again and again, without fail.
The JOBB instructors had strong faith in this Kashgar group.
Their dedication and quick learning left a deep impression.
As one of the lead trainers, Ms. Song remarked:
“They’re not just fast learners—they also have an admirable spirit of never settling for ‘good enough.’ They’re always thinking about how to improve.”
🌱 Growth Over Half a Year
The teachers recall how Xiao Yu was always on the move—helping others, paying attention to everything happening in the kitchen, always finding things to do.
“It’s exactly those qualities that helped him progress so quickly.”
As the team’s big sister figure, Yue Liang stood out not only for her consistent and reliable performance but also for her service mindset.
While practicing in the immersive environment of the “bread corner,” she even started picking up Shanghainese to better communicate with local customers.
Yi Yi, the most sensitive and tender-hearted of the three, once teared up while shaping baguettes—it reminded her of the nang her family used to bake back home.
Now, she can recreate that warm, familiar flavor with her own hands.
As her skills improved, Yi Yi said she began to gain more confidence.
“Seeing people enjoy the bread I made made me feel truly valued and recognized. That sense of achievement keeps pushing me forward.”
During the JOBB training, the students often stayed until 6 or 7 p.m. to continue practicing.
Yue Liang and Yi Yi would quiz each other on production steps every evening—
“You have to memorize every step by heart if you want to make good products.”
🎓 More Than a Certificate—A Step Toward the Future
These three hard-earned certificates represent not just technical achievement, but the long journey they made to learn and grow far from home.
JOBB will continue to support them in unlocking their potential.
Because this is not the end—
It’s just the beginning of a much bigger future.
