The hub has been developed to showcase the opportunities within the hospitality sector to jobseekers in the area. The hub also provides information on apprentice vacancies, path 2 apprenticeships, sector work-based academies, skills boot camps, work experience and T Level industry placements.

It will promote the many benefits of working in hospitality, while demonstrating how the sector supports talent from local communities into jobs including apprenticeships.

Jonathan Foot, director of skills and early careers at Compass Group UK & Ireland said: “The food and support services sector is a barrierless industry and we are committed to providing opportunities for all and supporting people into work.

“The Hospitality Hub will offer a range of prospects, regardless of qualifications or experience, along with additional assistance and guidance to help people see what they can achieve and how to get started.

“Xcelerate with Edgbaston was developed to support local people and nurture the next generation of hospitality professionals. This fantastic partnership is a prime example of this ambition, allowing us to showcase the industry and our business, while crucially, supporting the communities in which we work.”
