The Roca brothers will select two catering students from the countries they visit to promote local talent. These young cooks will enjoy a scholarship at the Roca brothers' restaurant in Girona for 4 months. Every year, the restaurant receives more than 400 applications from people wanting work experience, which is why being part of the El Celler de Can Roca team can be considered as the best incentive possible.
