Hide-Apprenticeship is an exciting and proven way for employers to develop talent for their company and industry. Apprenticeships are designed by industry-led groups, supporting growth and competitiveness.

Apprentices earn while they learn and build valuable work-ready skills in a chosen occupation. Apprenticeships open up exciting and rewarding careers, with learning grounded in the practical experience of undertaking a real job. Apprenticeship is defined as a programme of structured education and training which formally combines and alternates learning in the workplace with learning in an education or training centre. It is a dual system, a blended combination of on-the-job employer-based training and off-the-job training.

A Chef de Partie is trained to

• Deliver advanced culinary skills in a professional kitchen
• Supervise a particular area or station within the kitchen
• Work on their own as well as train Commis Chefs

This programme is designed by industry and academic professionals so the apprentice will learn the skills, knowledge and behaviours necessary for a successful career that will take them anywhere in the world.

The Chef de Partie apprenticeship programme is designed to expose participants to a wide range of culinary skills and ideas and allows them to not only learn how to do something, but understand why it is done a certain way.

It combines classroom training with hands-on practical skills development in the workplace.

Apprentices follow a structured path of learning to build their knowledge and skills from a basic to advanced level.

A work-based mentor will monitor and help apprentices to progress through the apprenticeship and they will learn how their college-based learning links to their everyday working environment.
