Jack Daniels has announced the return of the Bartender’s Mentorship Program, Tennessee Campus, which is running for the 3rd consecutive year.
The program provides Kenyan bartenders with the opportunity to master their craft. Designed as a 360’ educative and entrepreneurship experience, Tennessee Campus covers all aspects of the hospitality business. It essentially empowers bartenders to build a sustainable and successful careers in the industry.

Launched during Covid19, Tennessee Campus has consistently supported and encouraged Kenyan bartenders to believe in their passions by offering career and business training.
David Mwangi Mutunga, Jack Daniel’s East Africa Brand Ambassador, said, “At Jack Daniel’s, we believe that mentorship and skills development has a transformational ability to elevate the career of bartenders.
“By sharing our knowledge and creating a platform of excellence, Kenyan bartenders can unleash their potential in unimagined ways. Throughout the pandemic, we strongly believed in the talents of our Kenyan colleagues. We are excited to see what they bring forward and apply in 2022.”
The ethos of mentorship and innovation is at the heart of Jack Daniel’s brand dating back to 1866. Through the foundation of mentorship, a young Jasper ‘Jack’ Daniel built a thriving whiskey enterprise. Today, it is one of the world’s biggest whiskey brands, still enjoyed in ‘Pubs’ and ‘Fine Establishments’.
