The Cornwall Foundation of Promise and its training subsidiary Fifteen Cornwall train young people between the ages of 16-24 who are NEETS to become chefs of the future. Together with Cornwall College they have trained over 100 young people. They serve over 70,000 meals a year in their restaurant, focusing on quality, provenance and experience while giving apprentices, staff and guests every opportunity to learn about the food and beverages they serve, on the job, and in the classroom – with apprentices gaining formal qualifications (VRQ Level 1 and NVQ Level 2) in Professional Cookery after a 16 month programme. The Foundation stated that this year they have faced new challenges with regards to funding and have looked for new sources of income for each component of their programme.
