Invest in Me - our apprenticeship programme
We’re proud of our investment to colleagues through our ‘Invest in Me’ programme. Currently over 100 of our colleagues are apprentices, across a variety of ages, looking to learn new skills and develop their career.
All programmes are funded via Elior’s Apprenticeship Levy and are based on the national apprenticeship standards. Our offering is varied, with learners enrolled in a range of courses from food production and customer service to management, coaching, and digital marketing.
Chef School
Our award-wining internal Chef School is designed to provide foundation skills and knowledge to those who aspire to a career as a chef. It is incredibly practical and suitable for any colleague who wishes to embark on a chef’s career - from those who are currently commis chefs with limited experience to kitchen porters and food service/general assistants.
