Second Bite Hospitality Academy
The Second Bite Hospitality Academy pairs great food with great people to provide meals to those who need it. Meals purchased through Second Bite CIC contributing towards meals to feed those who cannot afford it.
Within an 8-week learning period, Second Bite Hospitality Academy hosts opportunities for selected participants to experience 4 weeks of training (phase 1) and 4 weeks of work experience (phase 2) in all disciplines of the hospitality sector.
This includes;
- Back of House Role (BOH) such as Chef, Cook, Catering Assistant and Kitchen Porter.
- Front of House Role (FOH) such as Waiter/Waitress, Bar Person, Barista, Host and Service Assistant
Due to its flexible and empathetic approach, the Second Bite Hospitality Academy is not only a great option for those who have recently found themselves unemployed, but also ideal option for those with complex barriers into employment and those who are long term unemployed, as well as veterans, single parents, NEET’s, people in recovery, and ex-offenders.
Each academy participant is, in addition, directly and indirectly taught a host of transferable and job ready skills. This includes working under pressure, working to deadlines, prioritising, team-work, multitasking, daily routines, employer, and customer expectations- all in a real-world environment, also an especially useful and not easily recreated experience. This is an experience that will allow the participants to be able to make an informed decision around pursuing a career within hospitality.
We also offer, uniquely – ongoing support with participant personal issues throughout.
After Phase 1 candidates will be assessed and allocated (if suitable and willing) a specific area from the BOH and FOH choices above to concentrate on for Phase 2 in a variety of delivery locations, ranging from a Café, Canteen, or Bistro environment. Second Bite would also like to help transition people in to further education or employment after the initial 8-week experience.
Training / Development
The Second Bite Hospitality Academy is delivered over an initial 8-week period.
Classroom to practical training differs from BOH to FOH, but both result in essential practical skills and knowledge, transferable employability skills as well as a Level 2 Qualification in Food Hygiene.
