Apprentices are pointed in right direction by Compass

Compass Group UK and Ireland, the largest foodservice catering company in the UK, launched Our Social Promise in 2022.

It outlined an ambition to positively impact one million lives by 2030, from both within and outside the organisation through job creation, education, training, community and charitable engagement. Part of this strategy includes the development of its people, but importantly it also focuses on creating opportunities for those in the communities Compass operates in. Compass is investing in talent and their skills for the future through schemes like apprenticeships and its Career Pathways programmes, that shows people such as cleaning and culinary workers, through to central functions and support staff, how to ‘Move Up’, ‘Move Across’ or simply ‘Master your Craft’ – offering learning, advice, mentoring and progression. A key part of this is apprenticeships, with over 40 programmes on offer ranging from culinary, facilities, business management, events, HR, finance, IT/digital, sales and procurement – which take candidates from level 2 up to level 6 and 7 degrees. One example of success is its market leading Forward with Marcus Wareing programme, which began in the summer of 2021 as a bespoke development course, which runs alongside a Level 4 senior culinary

chef or Level 5 operations departmental manager apprenticeship standard. It focusses on taking senior culinary talent to the next level of their training, with an emphasis on modules including commercial,

culture, sustainability and the craft. Later this month, Compass will also officially launch Xcelerate with Edgbaston. The regional community skills and learning hub, will be

a state-of-the-art facility providing front of house, back of house, facilities management and IT digital solutions training for budding chefs and hospitality professionals of the future.
