A new training school for chefs formed by a group of County Antrim hotels aims to tackle the recruitment struggle in the hospitality sector in Northern Ireland
Run by the Northern Ireland Hospitality School, the Chef Academy will take on six students in a year-long course consisting of on-the-job learning at member hotels The Adair Arms Hotel, Galgorm Resort or Tullyglass House Hotel, as well as training at the South Eastern Regional College.
If they complete the course, the chefs will be guaranteed a position at one of the hotels and will also be awarded an FDQ Level 2 Diploma. The first intake is scheduled for September and applications are open now.
