TUCO Academy is pleased to be partnering with Lifetime Training to explore how apprenticeships can support recruitment, retention and workforce development across university and college catering operations.

Overview

Who is this for?

Anyone who is interested in using the Lifetime Training to recruit Apprentices or upskill their workforce through Apprenticeships:

  • Catering and hospitality managers.
  • HR and people development teams.
  • Apprenticeship and workforce development leads.
  • Heads of department and operational managers.
  • Anyone interested in developing talent pipelines and investing in staff development.

Why should I take part?

Apprenticeships are no longer just for school leavers. They offer a practical and funded route to attract new talent, develop existing employees and build the skills needed for the future of hospitality and catering.

This webinar at 2pm will introduce the apprenticeship opportunities available through Lifetime Training and provide an overview of how members can use apprenticeships to fill vacancies, support career progression and maximise available apprenticeship funding.

With increasing pressure on recruitment, retention and skills development, apprenticeships provide a valuable opportunity to invest in your workforce while accessing funded training. This session will help you understand the options available and how apprenticeships can support both organisational objectives and individual career development.

Join TUCO Academy and Lifetime Training to discover how apprenticeships can help build a stronger, more skilled workforce for the future.

FAQs

  • I can’t see a particular course/training, can you run it?

    If you are interested in receiving training that is not already offered by TUCO Academy, pop us an email or give us a call and we will see if we can source it for you. By going through TUCO Academy you will be able to purchase the training at a subsidised rate and if you can offer the training to other members it will reduce the cost further. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I request a course or development day be held at my organisation?

    The TUCO Academy has worked hard to offer all training at a subsidised price, agreeing reduced corporate contract rates with hotels etc. - yet still understands the benefits of in-house training. To that end, working alongside the professional trainers, TUCO Academy can arrange for events to be held at your own institution, for no extra cost. 

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Who can use the training with TUCO Academy?

    All professional development events are available for ANY staff in institutions who are members of TUCO, not just employees in the hospitality, catering and commercial services department.

    Does this answer your question? If not, you can contact us directly.

  • Can I book on behalf of someone else in my organisation?

    Yes – the person making the booking doesn’t have to attend.
