Minh Luong's Company Details

KOTO stands for Know One, Teach One - learning should be passed on; knowledge is meant to be shared. This is the essential idea of KOTO's Vietnamese-Australian founder, Jimmy Pham. In 1999, Jimmy Pham opened a hospitality training centre in Hanoi, providing at-risk and disadvantaged youth the opportunity to break the poverty cycle by forging a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. Twenty-one years later, we have over 1,000 graduates (KOTO Alumni) which include executive and sous chefs, hotel and resort general managers, business owners as well as university graduates. All are contributing to their families and society. KOTO continues to be acknowledged as a leading unique not-for-profit social enterprise, not only in Vietnam but also internationally. Today, KOTO provides 200 at-risk and disadvantaged youth in Vietnam an opportunity to undertake our 24-month holistic hospitality training program to end the cycle of poverty and truly empower our trainees to realise their dreams.
