Abstract
A number of Whitbread brands have partnered with the Springboard charity to develop an individual work experience opportunity for their restaurants by targeting people in schools and colleges with an interest in hospitality.
So far, ten 16-24 year olds from Birmingham have joined Springboard’s KickStart programme and received a week of industry related training before completing two weeks work experience.
Adam Branney, who completed experience at Brewers Fayre, Great Park, Rubery, said: “Over the last two weeks at Brewers Fayre, I’ve learnt how a kitchen functions and how to plate up various dishes.
“It has definitely improved my knowledge of the kitchen and improved my confidence. In the next 5 years I would love to be working in a kitchen full time.”
Beefeater, Brewers Fayre, Table Table, Taybarns and Whitbread Inns are all signed up to the scheme.
