Apprenticeship in Hospitality Scotland (AHS), which counts Apex Hotels, The Old Course Hotel at St Andrews and Cameron House in Loch Lomond among its hotel partners is expanding its network so it can nurture, develop and inspire the next generation of talent for the Scottish hospitality industry. AHS is also expanding its programme to restaurants for the first time via its apprenticeship in professional cookery.
AHS was developed to offer an alternative to university and start a lifelong career in the sector and hotels in Scotland are being urged to partner with AHS and take on apprentices. Under the two-year modern apprenticeship in hospitality services scheme, apprentices spend six months in four key departments and develop key skills.
Rohaise Rose-Bristow, chair of Apprenticeship in Scotland and owner of The Torridon hotel, said, “Since the programme began in 2014, we have seen 54 apprentices kick-start their careers in hospitality with first-class employers. Our apprenticeship programme is a great way to nurture and engage with the next generation of hotel professionals and chefs.”
Hotel and restaurant employers looking to join the apprenticeship programme should email enquiries@apprenticeshipinhospitality.scot.
