As businesses now face intense competition to recruit and retain talent, there’s a heightened need for head chefs and aspiring head chefs to become better people managers and to possess the skills and confidence needed to engage, support, develop and motivate their teams.

Limited FREE places are available on the 15-hour programme (which runs weekly over five sessions) to head chefs and aspiring head chefs working and living in Scotland. The courses run between 21 February to 21 March 2022, covering: leading a team, HR practices, effective recruitment, retaining your staff as well as training and development.

Sandra Kelly, UK director of People 1st International, commented: “The hospitality and tourism industry has faced a turbulent time over the past two years, however as it begins to rebuild we have an opportunity to grow our top talent and ensure they are supported.

“By making managers a key learning and development focus, we’ll help them to become better people managers with the skills and confidence to address individual team needs.

“We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Skills Development Scotland to offer the Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme to head chefs and aspiring head chefs in Scotland and would encourage those interested to apply today.”
