As well as
learning to prepare food in Mosimann's kitchens, the action-packed
week also included an early morning trip to Covent Garden food market
and a tour of the catering facilities at a Jarvis hotel.
Trust
Ambassador Anton Mosimann, who for the fourth year running has
supported the initiative, said: "The Prince's Trust's Get Into
programme is a fantastic combination - providing opportunities for
young people who haven't had the best start or chances in life, and
giving them an insight into the hospitality industry. I'm very proud
to be able to support the initiative."
All five
participants were honoured with certificates at a special cocktail
reception and received these from Prince's Trust ambassador and pop
singer Darius Danesh. They will all now go on to receive follow-up
support from The Prince's Trust, helping them to fulfil their career aspirations.
Trust
ambassador Darius Danesh who attended the presentation, comments:
"The Prince's Trust Get Into Cooking course is excellent and
each of the participants seemed to have got a lot out of it and were
all brimming with confidence. It's great to hear that they are all
determined to get a job in the catering industry now."
The 'Get Into'
courses were developed in response to The Trust's research which
showed young people want worthwhile jobs, which offered them career
opportunities but often felt held back in life by their lack of
skills, experience and qualifications. This programme therefore aims
to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds develop their
practical skills and move into employment.
The Trust runs
the 'Get Into' programme in other industry sectors including coffee,
maritime, hospitality, customer care and rural based industries.
These are delivered via a variety of corporate partners related to
those industries in order to provide relevant work experience.
