A record-number of new graduates have been welcomed onto BaxterStorey’s Momentum Graduate Programme, after completing a rigorous assessment day.
The nine-month programme aims to address a growing skills gap in the hospitality industry, whilst helping to fill BaxterStorey’s pool of senior manager and operational roles, with a focus on training and developing staff from within.
Westbury Street Holdings head of skills development, Graham Eveleigh, said: “Now entering its fifth year, I am delighted that our Momentum Graduate Programme has commenced for 2015/16 by doubling its intake to 18 new participants.
“The programme reflects our commitment to graduate employment and the training and career development of talented team members.
“With graduates able to experience placements in BaxterStorey, Caterlink, Holroyd Howe and Searcys, we can offer the very best entry into the world of hospitality.
“With a 100 per cent retention from the previous two years of the programme, we are looking forward to a bright future for our talented new joiners.”
Launched in 2010, the rapidly growing initiative is designed to help university graduates enter the hospitality and catering profession and develop their understanding of the industry.
BaxterStorey is one of the trading brands of Westbury Street Holdings.
