Not Going to Uni
Not Going to Uni and Moving On magazine can help you discover different hospitality and catering roles and help you apply for your first job in the industry
Not Going to Uni is the website for young people who are looking for alternatives to full-time university study. We work with employers, colleges and training providers in the hospitality and catering industry, such as HIT Training, Pret A Manger, Kaplan and Starbucks, and currently offer hundreds of hospitality and catering opportunities. Here at Not Going to Uni we recognise that apprenticeships are one of the best ways for school leavers to launch their career in hospitality, with apprenticeship frameworks like Catering and Professional Chefs, Hospitality Management and Licensed Hospitality. With pathways at levels 2 and 3, including professional cookery, pâtisserie and confectionery, and craft cuisine, as well as a level 4 apprenticeship in Hospitality Management, which offers a route to a long-term career role such as front of house manager, apprenticeships are a great option. In 2013/14 alone there were 32,010 new starters in the hospitality and catering sector. We don’t just offer a platform to search for and apply for
apprenticeships, we also have careers advisers online who are available to answer any questions you have and to point you in the right direction.

Gemma enrolled on a Team Leading Intermediate apprenticeship with HIT Training to help equip her for a more supervisory role, and was soon promoted to restaurant manager. Having achieved her qualification, Gemma set her sights on taking responsibility for a bigger team and embarked on a Hospitality Supervision & Leadership Advanced Apprenticeship. She was quickly appointed as events and functions manager at and, just six months later, Gemma was again celebrating her rapid career progression with her appointment as duty manager. She also now mentors a junior
