CATERING AND HOSPITALITY

The project aimed to provide work experience in the hospitality and tourism sector for students who want to take up careers as chefs, catering technicians, waitresses, and tourist technicians. This was the school’s first independent ERASMUS+ project.

The project was also designed to help students gain new cultural and social experiences and to build confidence, improve language skills and enhance employment prospects. Learning outcomes included achieving ECVET and Europass mobility certification.

From participants on their experience:

“I really enjoyed working there because I learned to cook cuisines from other countries. They were really friendly towards me and they have helped me a lot. I went to seafood festival which I really enjoyed and saw a lot of new dishes.”

From work placement providers:

“My host family are so lovely, they have been wonderful. They take care of everything – it’s been easier than being at home! Kate is amazing and her cooking and lunchboxes are delicious.”

From promoters on their experience:

"The project was about more than simply work-placement and food…..living and working in a different country helped my students to learn important lessons about people and life. They now recognise that whatever our nationality or culture, we’re all the same but different."
