The Prince’s Trust were awarded a grant for their ‘Get Into Cooking’ programme in Northern Ireland which offers 16 disadvantaged young people aged 16-25, who are work ready but do not have the vocational skills, the opportunity to gain practical training and work experience in the restaurant industry. The four week programme aims to help them move into employment or take up further training within the hospitality sector. It is run in partnership with Belfast Metropolitan College. Participants will work towards three units from a City & Guilds NVQ Level 2 in Hospitality and Catering (Kitchen Services); a CIEH Level 2 Award in Food Safety, and an Emergency First Aid at Work Certificate. Participants will also receive employability skills training, including interview technique and CV skills. Participants will then be able to put their new skills into practice via a seven day work experience placement with leading restaurants across Greater Belfast including Michael Deane of Deanes Restaurants and Niall McKenna of James Street South. After the four weeks, each young person will be offered up to six months mentoring support to maintain momentum from the programme and progress into employment or further training.
