Catering learners from Crumlin College, Dublin, have won three gold and two silver medals in the National Catering Competitions at Chef Ireland
2011. Top among the college’s winners were Sinead Galloway and Niamh Kelly, who both studied their City & Guilds Food Preparation and Cooking qualifi cations at Crumlin College. Sinead, 18, won a gold medal in the Junior Cold Souffl é
category. She was competing against caterers from around the world, so her award has helped cement all that she learnt on her course. ‘Since doing my qualifi cation I’ve got much more confi dence in the kitchen,’ says Sinead, ‘and now that I’ve won this medal I’m more sure of my skills. I hope to one day open my own restaurant.’ Niamh Kelly, 20, won two silver medals at the
competition, one for Junior Cold Souffl é and one for Junior Terrine. ‘I gained a really good grounding in cooking techniques and knowledge from my City & Guilds course, particularly in areas such as knife techniques,’ says Niamh. ‘Since winning the medals I feel I’ve gained more trust and respect at work, and now do all the soups.’

Research released in July 2011 by the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM) and Ashridge Business School revealed that 57% of recent
graduates plan to leave their current jobs within two years. The report, Managing New Graduates, surveyed more
than 1,900 graduates and discovered that they considered a high salary, challenging and interesting work, and career development as their top three priorities, while employers were found to underestimate the importance of salary, career development and work-life balance. Peter Cheese, Chairman of ILM, commented, ‘Organisations
put a lot of effort into developing their graduates in order to establish a pipeline of talent that will drive innovation. However, a widespread desire among graduates to move on within a few years undermines efforts to promote the long-term success of the organisation.’
