Why Hospitality apprenticeships?
Retain your talent with hospitality training solutions
With the knowledge that they’re being invested in, your people stay with you longer. It's why our apprenticeships are mapped to specific roles, to develop clearly defined routes for career progression in a variety of settings. We've seen how apprenticeships increase brand loyalty to create impressive retention results, especially when compared to the non-apprentice population. Find out more here.
73% of employees are still working for the same employer two years after completing their apprenticeship.
Fill your vacancies
We recruit over 5,000 people every year into life-changing career opportunities, helping our partners to build a future-ready workforce. Working in partnership with your managers, we attract, screen and shortlist the best candidates in the hospitality industry and get them interview-ready, so your managers save time and you recruit quickly.
Create careers with hospitality industry training
With clear progression routes from Levels 2 to 5, our hospitality apprenticeships provide clear career pathways for employees, wherever they are in their current role. By aligning the programmes to your existing roles you can clearly show team members their potential future and the route to get there, showcasing how great a career in hospitality can be.
Hospitality apprenticeships can span a variety of sectors from catering apprenticeships to hotel apprenticeships. Our job as a hospitality training provider is to give your employees the skills and knowledge they need to excel in their career.
Social mobility, diversity and inclusion
Recruiting externally and improving access to hospitality training reaches and empowers more people in underrepresented communities, disadvantaged locations and low socio-economic groups. And by driving social mobility and building a more inclusive workforce, you'll gain far more than just increased apprentice numbers.
