Spirit Pub Company has launched a brand new apprenticeship aimed at developing those looking for a career in the kitchen.
The ApprentiChef programme is available for young and aspiring people that are looking to expand and develop their skill set and begin a career within hospitality, with the intention of progressing through to Kitchen Manager.
The 30 month programme will see candidates take on a number of training exercises from leadership development through to project management. The tasks will enhance the learner’s technical abilities and provide them with the experience and knowledge required to move up the career pathway.
Kitchen Managers of the future
Lynne Kennedy who heads up Food Quality Training at Spirit said, “This is a great opportunity to grow our own Kitchen Managers of the future. With the school leaving age increasing and more people looking at Apprenticeships as an alternative to university, we believe the ApprentiChef programme offers an exciting career path for young people who are looking to get into the hospitality industry. The programme culminates in qualifications that are the equivalent to 10 good grade GCSEs and offers the prospect of moving into a management position in one of our pubs.”
The ApprentiChef programme joins Spirit’s suite of five apprenticeship programmes with over 1,000 candidates in learning, a number the brand is looking to increase by almost double over the year.
Spirit Pub Company owns and manages 791 pubs across the UK under brands such as Chef & Brewer, Fayre & Square, Flaming Grill, John Barras and Taylor Walker.
