I was reading this morning that the food industry has suffered less than many other sectors, partly because we all need to eat – makes sense…
Food manufacturers need Food Technologists (real-life Willie Wonkas – of whome there aren’t that many), Technical and Production Managers.
The food service industry also needs food service people for event venues and executive dining and kitchen staff way up to Commis Chefs and Chefs.
Love all things to do with food and hospitality but untrained?
The teacher in our story earlier this week used her redundancy money to fund her training in a completely different field. Hospitality is recovering and there are apparently entry-level vacancies as well as management.
Here are just two educational organisations that offer courses; there are probably loads more around the country:
London School of Hospitality and Tourism
What’s going on in and around your area? Do you need to train or do you already have transferable skills? Who do you know? Which companies could you approach direct? Alongside that you could try specialist recruitment agencies.
Remember: Stand out and be different!
