A HIT training survey of 16-20 year olds found that 2/3 of them were considering taking on an apprenticeship. It is great to see the apprenticeships coming back because for a long time they were a valued way of getting into a specific industry. Over half of the respondents of the survey said that they wouldn’t be considering a career in hospitality which is such a shame to hear.
A lot of people who organised the survey agreed that it all starts at the beginning to keep a new employee engaged which includes making sure they have an induction so that they feel included right from the word go. I have been to some establishments when your arrival is so expected, and you really feel a part of the team. I have also been starting jobs at other establishments when they don’t even know you are arriving which doesn’t make you feel particularly included or wanted even!
So what can we do to get more young people involved and bring them into the industry?
