The virtual programme gives chefs living and working in Scotland’s tourism and hospitality industry the knowledge needed to manage, motivate and retain staff effectively. It has been running throughout February and March and will close for applications to the final cohort on 14 March 2022.

Developed and delivered by People 1st International, the training addresses the need to improve management skills across the sector as businesses face increased competition to recruit and retain talent.

Sandra Kelly, UK director of People 1st International commented: “It’s been fantastic to work in partnership with Skills Development Scotland to offer the Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme and with just a limited number of places available on the final cohort of the programme, we’d urge any employers that would like to secure a place for their chefs to apply today.

The programme covers five modules including: leading a team, HR practices, effective recruitment, retaining your staff and training & development. The final cohort of the 2.5 day programme will run across the following dates:

• Monday 28 March 2022 9am-4pm
• Tuesday 29 March 2022 9am-4pm
• Wednesday 30 March 9am-12pm
