The new union between the two companies will extend HIT’s presence in Scotland and help deliver a greater range of hospitality apprenticeships and traineeships to learners and businesses across the country. Initially, HIT and Perth-based GOAL will deliver training solutions to businesses with a minimum of 250 employees but it is anticipated that this partnership will also deliver apprenticeships and traineeships to smaller businesses in due course.
Jill Whittaker, managing director of HIT Training, said: “This is a very exciting time for HIT, our teams of trainer-assessors have delivered more than half of all hospitality and catering apprenticeships across England, and we’re now looking forward to working closely with GOAL to develop learners’ potential and help employers in Scotland increase the effectiveness and profitability of their staff.
“GOAL shares a similar work ethic and company ethos to HIT so we are very much looking forward to working together.”
HIT Training is a specialist provider of hospitality apprenticeships, traineeships and work-based learning. It has supported 50,000 learners at over 10,000 employer sites across the country.
