Head chefs and aspiring head chefs have a final opportunity to secure fully funded places on the Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme.

The virtual programme, which gives chefs living and working in Scotland’s tourism and hospitality industry the knowledge and skills needed to manage, motivate and retain staff effectively, has been running throughout February and March and will close for applications to the final cohort on 14 March 2022.

Developed and delivered by People 1st International on behalf of Skills Development Scotland, the training addresses the heightened need to improve management skills across the sector as businesses face intense competition to recruit and retain talent, and covers five modules:

• Leading a team
• HR practices
• Effective recruitment
• Retaining your staff
• Training and development

The final cohort of the 2.5 day programme will run across the following dates:

• Monday 28 March 2022 9am-4pm
• Tuesday 29 March 2022 9am-4pm
• Wednesday 30 March 9am-12pm

Sandra Kelly, UK Director, People 1st International comments:

“It’s been fantastic to work in partnership with Skills Development Scotland to offer the Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme and with just a limited number of places available on the final cohort of the programme, we’d urge any employers that would like to secure a place for their chefs to apply today.”
