Apprenticeships are a poplular choice for people looking for on-the-job training and the opportunity to gain recognised experience whilst earning a wage.  Your training will take place at College in conjunction with your employer and they will be heavily involved in your progress and development.

A hospitality team member can work in a range of establishments, and the most important part of the role is developing fantastic 'hospitality' skills and knowledge such as recognising customer needs; knowing how to match them to the products and services of the business and working as part of a team.  This will ensure every customer, whether they are eating in the restaurant; drinking cocktails in a bar; ordering room service in a hotel or attending a business conference feels welcomed and looked after.
