UKHospitality boss Kate Nicholls hailed the move, saying: “UKHospitality's Sector-Based Work Academy pilot proved to be a brilliant way to provide high quality, entry-level training for both new starters and those looking to get back into work.
“This announcement gives us the impetus to expand our work across the country, help more people find rewarding jobs in hospitality, boost growth, tackle economic inactivity and continue to develop our Hospitality Skills Passport.”.
The expansion will see a hospitality training pilot rolled out to 26 new areas, including 13 coastal towns, to help tackle the industry’s 88,000 unfilled roles.
THOUSANDS of unemployed Brits are set for a major boost as a new fast track to work scheme is rolled out across seaside towns.
Anyone on Universal Credit, Jobseeker’s Allowance, or Employment and Support Allowance can sign up through their local Jobcentre, while businesses can partner with the DWP to create tailored training schemes for vacancies.
