holiday pay, statutory sick pay and the same maternity and parental leave rights as other employees. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside and learn from experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Your employer will also give you time for
training and study related to your role. This may be at your workplace, a college, a training provider or online. Asking questions, taking on more responsibility and putting what you’ve learned into practice will help you develop into your job.
What kind of hospitality apprenticeships are there? There are many different types of apprenticeships in the hospitality industry to suit different
skillsets, across restaurants, pubs, bars, cafés, and hotels. You could train in a high-end kitchen or learn how to cook for large-scale institutions such as the NHS, help run front of house operations and greet guests in a hotel, or work in an events department to organise venues, design and the logistics of catering and staff. Employers offering apprenticeships include chef Simon Rogan’s Michelin-starred restaurant group, Rick Stein’s restaurant group in Cornwall, international hotel giant Marriott International, and national pub chain Greene King.
Will apprenticeships change under the new Labour government? Labour has pledged to reform the apprenticeship levy following a long
21
campaign by UKHospitality. At the moment, apprenticeships are partly funded by money raised through taxes, as well as an apprenticeship levy paid by bigger businesses with an annual wage bill of more than £3m. Firms can then use that money to train apprentices. Labour has said it will replace this with a
growth and skills levy that will give businesses more flexibility on how apprenticeship funds are used and courses are run. However, the timeline of this is unclear. A new organisation called Skills England will be set up in phrases over the next year and work with employers, unions and education and training providers to assess the current and future needs of businesses.
