Princes trust delivering training in hospitality

Get Into Hospitality course running from Monday 26th July to Friday 6th August 2010. The last Get Into Hospitality course was highly successful with 9 of the 15 participants entering employment following the course. This is a two-week full time course for anyone aged 16 – 25, who is unemployed and is interested in finding work in the hospitality industry. As the funding is through Rhyl City Strategy, most of the participants must be from Rhyl, or very close to Rhyl. The course is free to participants and all travel and lunch costs will be paid for by the Prince's Trust. The course is work focused, and participants will gain vocational qualifications including Emergency First Aid, Health and Safety in the workplace and Food Safety level 2. The second week will include 4 days work experience (various shifts as this is what will be expected of them when they find work in the hospitality sector), and a final presentation on the last day. Following this there is the option of 6 months progression support for each participant if they are interested. The course will be delivered by Clwyd Leisure Ltd and there is the possibility of some vacancies for suitable candidates. There will be a taster day on Tuesday 20th July for everyone who is interested to come along and get more information. This will be a basic introduction to the course and short interviews for everybody who is interested. There is a maximum of 15 places on the course therefore there will be a selection process.
