The Hospitality Guild has announced the shortlisted nominees for its Apprenticeship Awards 2013.
The awards, which are held in partnership with People 1st, recognise and celebrate the achievements of apprentices working in hospitality and emphasise the vital role employers, providers and mentors play in apprenticeship delivery.
This year’s winners will be announced at a ceremony held at the Tower of London on 3 December, with guests including industry leaders and celebrity chefs.
The event will also see new members inducted into the Hospitality Guild’s Young Hall of Fame, which showcases the initiatives and awards of the Guild’s partner organisations and recognises inspiring young professionals working in the hospitality industry. The winners of the Intermediate and Advanced Apprenticeship categories at last year’s Apprenticeship Awards will also be inducted into the Young Hall of Fame.
Sophie Roberts Brown, operations director of the Hospitality Guild, said that there was stiff competition for the awards, with more than 100 nominations received in total.
“The nominations we received this year highlighted the impressive skills apprentices in our industry have, and the way in which their employers, mentors and training providers support them. The quality is just amazing.
“With so many inspiring examples of outstanding talent and support, we’re going to face a number of tough decisions when it comes to choosing our winners to be announced in December.”
The winners of the Intermediate and Advanced Apprenticeship categories and the Mentor of the Year will each receive a mini-iPad and will be offered the opportunity to undertake a specially tailored week of professional development work experience.
