Greene King pledges to support 5,000 new apprentices
Both entry level and management roles are on offer for a variety of FOH and BOH roles across the group
Greene King has confirmed it is set to continue its long-running apprenticeship scheme, with a commitment to take on 5,000 new apprentices by 2025.
The scheme aims to give young people the opportunity to “earn as they learn” about the hospitality industry, with both entry level and management roles on offer for a variety of FOH and BOH roles across the group.
It comes as new research from Greene King has revealed that one in five Brits (20%) would consider an apprenticeship as opposed to A-Levels if they could, with 45% admitting their A-Levels were not essential to their chosen career.
Through the apprenticeship scheme, it said employees will gain “hands on” experience in the industry, as well as be able to work towards a series of qualifications as they progress throughout their hospitality career, including Production Chef Level 2 (equivalent to 5 x GCSEs) Senior Level 7 (MBA) and more.
Andrew Bush, chief people and transformation officer, at Greene King said: “We want to wish everyone the best of luck ahead of A-Level results day. Whatever happens on A-Level and GCSE results days, it’s worth remembering that there are alternative career paths available. Our apprenticeship programme allows young people to immersive themselves in the hospitality industry and forge a long-lasting and exciting career.
“The programme is designed to fit around your chosen role and provide the support you need to reach your true potential.Not only can you earn from the get-go (meaning no restrictive student debt), every day is different in this fast-paced industry.”
