Halton Borough Council/Riverside College


£11,600


A grant was awarded to Halton Borough Council for a scheme run in partnership with Riverside College to support the training and development of adult apprenticeships (19-24) at NVQ levels 2/3 in Hospitality (Professional Cookery).


At the time of writing this report it is unclear whether this project will proceed owing to funding restrictions at Riverside College.

The College was awarded funding to help with the development of a specialised skills kitchen at Clarendon Campus.


This


will be a state of the art environmentally friendly kitchen with a low carbon footprint extraction system supporting the education and training of at least 200 further, higher and work based learning students year on year.


Outlining their


objectives the College stated that the new kitchen would (a) support growth in the number of students accessing Catering and Hospitality practical skills training; (b) create an environmentally and energy efficient training environment for students; and (c) provide an industry standard learning environment that prepares students for the world of work. Renovations began in July 2009 and it took just 12 weeks until the kitchen opened to the students at the beginning of the new term in September. “The exi necessary gu

The College successfully applied for a grant for academic year 2009/10 to build on the work for which funding was awarded by the Trust in the previous academic year, namely to:- • Continue the Junior Chefs School and provide training to school pupils that will develop and progress cooking skills in a professional catering environment whilst they learn about career opportunities and progression onto full time courses.


• Develop enrichment activities for full time students outside the normal curriculum, that will enthuse, inspire, provide additional skills, enhance knowledge and give students confidence in preparation for competition work.


• Enable staff and students to engage in local and national cookery and food service competitions and thus contribute to raising the profile of Catering and Hospitality as a career whilst continuing to support the Tourism industry locally. o
