A new Hospitality Graduate Apprenticeship programme, launched by UKHospitality and HIT Training, aims to provide a pathway into leadership and offer a sustainable solution for attracting, developing and retaining high-calibre talent across the sector.
The programme will see participants progress through three apprenticeships: Level 3 Supervising Hospitality, Level 5 Hospitality Operations Manager and Level 7 Senior Hospitality Leader.
Fully funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, apprentices graduate with a Masters-level qualification and Chartered Manager (CMgr) status via the Chartered Management Institute.
Mutual benefits
Businesses benefit from a sustainable leadership pipeline, motivated talent and savings on recruitment costs, while apprentices benefit from earning a salary while they learn.
Allen Simpson, chief executive of UKHospitality, said: "Hospitality offers fantastic career opportunities and pathways into leadership, and this new programme is an incredible opportunity for ambitious people who want an exciting career in hospitality.
"There is significant value for employers, too, who will benefit from its cost-saving potential, given the programme is funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, and improved staff retention."
Employers interested in joining the programme, or parents and apprentices wanting to learn more, can visit hittraining.co.uk/graduate or contact HIT Training on 0800 093 5892.
