The chef shortage – it’s a fundamental and well-documented challenge for the hospitality industry, and one that is now starting to have a real impact on the way restaurants and other food businesses operate.
Projections suggest the industry will need an additional 11,000 chefs in the next five years and that businesses are still struggling to fill vacancies – but there were 28,390 chef students in 2015/16 alone; so why do we have a shortage at all?
Successful chefs not only have excellent culinary skills, but the ability to inspire and motivate their teams. Our Management 1st programme will help them hone these skills.
If your business needs skilled chefs, the new apprenticeships are a fantastic solution. We can help you develop a strategy that utilises the new apprenticeships – and maximises your levy investment to do so. They are looking to recruit student chefs or offer work placements, our hospitality accredited colleges are among the best in the nation – as endorsed by employers themseves.
Our latest report combines new and existing data with views from key industry commentators, businesses, students, learning providers, head chefs and recruitment agencies to tackle this question once and for all.
