With the rise of celebrity chefs and the coverage of
catering as whole in the media, increasing numbers of the younger generation
are spying the potential of a very successful future in the industry.
Watch out Jamie
Oliver
The idea of catering as a career option has recently become
more popular amongst the younger generation.
There could be a number of reasons why but one that stands out is the
rise of the celebrity chef. There has
been a somewhat glamorisation of working in catering since the emergence of TV
chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey.
Jamie Oliver famously established his restaurant, Fifteen, around giving
underprivileged teenagers the opportunity to work in catering. This proved to be a great success and also
opened up catering as a career option to teens who perhaps before would have
not thought it possible for them to embark on such a successful career.
Investing in catering
is paying off
Vocational courses are increasing in popularity amongst
those students who would rather go into a career as soon as possible rather
than go to University. The
establishments that offer such courses as catering are benefiting from
substantial funding from corporations and the government in order to improve
their facilities and enable them to provide their students with the best
learning environments.
Corporate catering as
a career option
Corporate catering is a fast growing industry as large
businesses are more prepared to invest in events to impress clients as well as
reward their staff. Working in corporate
catering, especially in a vibrant, lucrative city such as London, provides a career path with diversity
and opportunity to make a large profit. Gaining catering qualifications is a
great stepping stone into the corporate catering world and provides students
with great background knowledge that they can the put to use on a corporate
level.
A perfect example of someone who gained top catering
qualifications and has put them to use by founding a successful corporate
caterers in London
is the founder of deWintons. DeWintons
was established in 1996 by Jacqueline Thomas, a former student of the top
catering school, Leith’s school of food and
wine. She has incorporated her knowledge
of food with her business partners’ ambition to provide excellent customer service,
creating the perfect recipe for an excellent corporate catering company in
London. School Furniture from
Edusentials can kit out a school perfectly for any lesson.
