Asian Voice - Saturday 31st March 2012
Everyone's a winner with Tilda
Asian and Oriental centres to tackle youth unemployment Unemployed people will get Government funding to train as chefs in curry houses, which have been left short-staffed by recent immigration laws. Indian, Bangladeshi, Chinese and Thai restaurants are struggling to cope with a cap on immigration and minimum wage legislation, which restrict their ability to recruit from overseas. Minister for Further Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning John Hayes MP launched five Asian & Oriental Centres of Excellence on 27th
March 2012. This longterm initiative, set up by People 1st and championed by the Hospitality Guild, will train unemployed people to become skilled chefs. This approach of addressing skills shortages will be used as a pilot model with plans to roll out similar centres in other occupations including, food and beverage and accommodation services. Recruits will take part in a six-week preemployment programme, which will include training and work experience with an employer. This will
equip them with fundamental hospitality skills such as customer service, food safety, and health and safety. It will also give them both an insight into the exciting career options and a qualification - the Level 1 Award in Introduction to Employment in the Hospitality Industry. At the end of this programme they are also guaranteed an interview with a prospective employer for either a job or a paid apprenticeship in Indian, Bangladeshi, Chinese or Thai cuisine.
