Executive Chef, Tom Flavin, and the Limerick Strand Hotel have been announced as a 2020 Generation Apprenticeship ‘Employer of the Year’
The Limerick Strand Hotel was nominated by the Hospitality Education and Training Centre, run by Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board.
The competition captured the best of employers currently undertaking apprenticeship programmes across a wide range of occupations from electrical, construction and engineering roles to healthcare, hospitality and financial services.
A new apprenticeship ‘taster’ scheme for transition years with an interest in the hospitality industry as a career is proving highly popular with students in the region.
The initiative, run by the Hospitality Education and Training Centre in Limerick, is aligned with a new national strategy to integrate ‘taster’ vocational courses into second level education.
The National Further Education and Training Strategy published by SOLAS in July highlighted a lack of vocational options in schools as preventing young people from developing interests in the area.
Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board schools are currently participating in two different hospitality taster courses specifically developed for transition years: a junior chef ‘apprenticeship taster’ and a barista skills taster. Running over eight weeks, one day a week, the courses are aimed at students who have an interest in the hospitality sector as a career, or in learning an essential skill for life.
