Nominations are now open for the Hospitality Guild’s second annual apprenticeship awards, which recognise and celebrate the achievements of apprentices, employers, providers and mentors working in the hospitality industry in England.
Suzy Jackson, executive director of the Hospitality Guild, commented on last year’s awards: “We had such impressive nominations last year and the overall quality was outstanding. It really highlighted the fantastic work that apprentices do and, with apprenticeships at the top of everyone’s agenda at the moment, we’re really hoping to build on the success of last year’s awards.”
Nominations are now open for the following categories: Intermediate Apprentice of the Year; Advanced Apprentice of the Year; Apprenticeship Mentor of the Year; Employer of the Year, SME (less than 250 employees); Employer of the Year, Large (more than 250 employees); and Partnership of the Year, to which you can vote by visiting the Hospitality Guild website.
The award winners will be announced at an exclusive event in London in early December withthe full support of David Way, executive director of the National Apprenticeship Service, who said: “Many great figures in the hospitality industry started life as apprentices and their training gave them the confidence and skills to see their talent blossom. Awards help to build this confidence and motivate people to be the best they can.”
Nominations are open to anyone undertaking a hospitality-related apprenticeship who was working as an apprentice on 31 March 2013. There is no charge to enter the awards and nominations must be submitted by Monday 7 October 2013.
