Fuller’s Chef Apprenticeship wins silver at TJ Awards
Our Chefs’ Guild Chef Apprenticeship Programme won the silver award for ‘Best Apprenticeship Programme’ at the Training Journal Awards on 3 December.
The Training Journal Awards (TJ Awards), held at the Tower of London, recognise the ingenuity, creativity, passion and work of learning and development professionals from around the world, across all sectors. There were 14 categories this year, with Fuller’s Chefs’ Guild Apprenticeship Programme being shortlisted for Best Apprenticeship Programme, alongside five other companies.
Winning Silver
Craig Parsons, Fuller’s Apprenticeship Manager, said: “This has been a great year for Fuller’s Apprenticeships. It goes without saying that each individual involved has had a huge part to play with getting our apprenticeships recognised at this level.
"A special thank you to our Chef Apprenticeship Partners, the University of West London, Havant and South Downs College, Brockenhurst College, Milton Keynes College, Bath College, Stratford upon Avon College and Weymouth College. It is important to me knowing that we all share the same ambition of delivering best-in-class apprenticeships.”
Fuller’s Chefs’ Guild Chef Apprenticeship was also recently awarded the title of ‘Best Apprenticeship Training Programme’ at the British Institute of Innkeeping National Innovation in Training Awards (BII NITAs) in London on 29 November. The BII NITAs celebrate the innovation and training happening in the hospitality industry.
