Weston College is proud to announce the launch of its Hospitality Foundation Apprenticeship, starting in October 2026, designed to support both local businesses and young people to thrive in the sector.
The programme offers a unique opportunity for employers to build their future workforce early, while supporting young people in gaining meaningful experiences and confidence in a real working environment.
Foundation Apprenticeships are employed roles with structured support, combining practical, on-the-job experience with one day per week of college-based learning.
Benefits to Hospitality Businesses
With the busy autumn and Christmas trading period approaching, Weston College is calling on hospitality businesses to take advantage of this time to train and develop new talent during peak operational periods, as well as identify high-potential individuals ahead of future recruitment cycles and build a sustainable pipeline of skilled staff ready for Summer 2027.
Employers will benefit from supporting apprentices to develop essential skills including:
- Customer service and communication
- Food preparation and service
- Teamwork and workplace behaviours
- Stock management and food safety
- Health and safety awareness
Supporting Young People into the Industry
The Foundation Apprenticeship is specifically designed for young people who benefit from:
- A broader introduction to the workplace
- Additional support and structured development
- Clear progression routes into employment or further apprenticeships
- This approach helps learners build confidence, capability, and career direction, while enabling employers to shape talent from an early stage.
Funding and Progression Opportunities
Employers may be eligible for up to £2,000 per apprentice to support participation.
At the end of the programme, apprentices can progress into a Level 2 or Level 3 apprenticeship and sustained employment within the business.
Get Involved
Weston College is now seeking hospitality employers across the region who are keen to:
- Invest in future talent
- Support young people into the industry
- Strengthen their workforce ahead of Summer 2027
Now is the ideal time to recruit, train, and shape your future team.
