Our 'Growing Bakers' Apprenticeship Programme, at The Bread Factory, exemplifies the true value of apprenticeships and showcases how everyone can build a rising career in the baking industry. Absolutely, there are many misconceptions about apprenticeships that can prevent people from fully growing their careers. Some common misconceptions are that apprenticeships are only for certain trades. Are for those who don't do well academically, and apprentices are low-paid workers. Apprenticeships don't lead to good career prospects and are only for young people. Forget about all these misconceptions, we welcome everyone with a passion for baking. By condensing the journey to becoming a skilled Artisan Baker into a little over a year, we offer comprehensive training, ongoing support, and robust career prospects. Our apprentices gain hands-on experience, a deep understanding of the craft, and a pathway to a fulfilling career in baking. Are you as passionate for baking as we are? If so, there's no better place to Grow Your Career than The Bread Factory. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ejQ9MnD4

Restaurant Youth Registered Apprenticeship. (RYRA) Like many people, I started working in the industry in a dish room. My son just started at a place we love, doing the same. I asked him how he felt after his first shift. He said he liked it, and specifically he mentioned he has a good manager and trainer. Many of us Gen Xers learned what we know now - through the informal mentorship of chefs and managers. Back at the turn of the century, I wish 17-year-old David had understood apprenticeship and that it was an option. Instead I put my head down and started washing dishes, and it was the beginning of a fantastic journey. There is so much supported professional development available for newcomers to the industry in 2024. Apprenticeships are also available to people who have enjoyed successful employment and want to add formalized knowledge, skills, and abilities to their craft. Apprenticeships provide access to information and education that propels people up the ladders of promotion and economic mobility. We know this. Apprenticeships are cool like that. Line Cook?

Derby College: Empowering Culinary Talent Through Apprenticeships In the ever-evolving culinary industry, where innovation and expertise are essential, apprenticeships play a crucial role in shaping the future. Tom, a former Derby College apprentice and now head chef, is a strong advocate for this pathway, crediting apprenticeships as the foundation for developing and retaining young talent. Currently leading a team that includes DCG apprentices Tilly and Chloe at Fairways, Tom emphasises the value of nurturing a team through the College’s programs. He states, “Given the challenges our industry faces, it’s vital that employers invest in retaining young, enthusiastic chefs who are eager to learn and grow.” With apprentices progressing through Levels 2 and 3, this approach provides continuity for both employers and staff, fostering long-term careers and ensuring businesses retain skilled workers.
