Day Opportunities in Catering

The idea came from the people we support who were keen to get more experience in the kitchen and café servery but perhaps weren’t quite ready to face the centres 147,000 annual customers and busy event days just yet.

The aim of our exciting new addition to the Taurus Crafts centre is to grasp new skills in the kitchen enabling an enriched home life and gaining enjoyment from cooking healthy meals within a budget as well as confidence in basic hospitality industry skills for supported work placements.

‘It’s not just about getting ready for the workplace it’s also about building confidence and getting familiar with the tools of the trade and trying our new skills. After first going through the basics of health and safety and hygiene we will be ready to get the pans out and start cooking’ – Hospitality School Co-ordinator

The courses that are available through the hospitality school are:

Basic Hospitality Skills
A tool for encouraging confidence and ability in basic hospitality skills for supported work placements and enhance the opportunity for learners to seek paid employment through inclusivity in the hospitality industry. This will be an 8 week course.

Basic Cooking Skills
