Cloe Carvalho Hoo, a marketing and brand management student, took bronze in retail sales. The skill was new to the competition this year, and UTM helped build its framework and marking criteria from scratch.
Four more students also earned Medals for Excellence. Tou Cheok Lam won in cooking, Choi Chi Ieng in bakery and Fu Ho I in pâtisserie and confectionery, all from the culinary arts management programme. Chan Hio Iao, meanwhile, a tourism business management student, won in hotel reception.
