The Oakman Group Chef Academy is paying people to attend a two-week residential course and will provide you with a job upon completion.
The epidemic and the impacts of Brexit have wrecked the hospitality industry, and one of the main issues is a significant lack of staff.
The Oakman Group has decided to address the issue hard on, and its Chef Academy will be held in January, February, and March.
It's a two-week intense residential program held at The Woburn in Bedfordshire. All participants will be paid and provided with a complete food allowance, and at the end of the two weeks, they will be offered a position at one of Oakman's 36 locations across England, with a starting pay of £10 per hour.
“Our aim is not to hire chefs, it’s to create them,” explained Oakman Group CEO Dermot King. “We’re looking for people with a passion for food and a desire to learn, and we can help them by giving them excellent training and coaching from our team of chefs. Too often people think the hospitality sector is just a job and not a career: we think differently and our Chef Academy is one example of how we like to invest in people and training.”
In 2017 and 2020, Oakman earned the Princess Royal Training Award, and many of their cooks and venue managers have worked their way up from lower positions.
The next three Chef Academies will take place from January 24 to February 4, February 21 to March 4, and March 14 to March 25.
