TWO success hungry apprentices are cooking up a storm since leaving Stratford College.
Dylan Faultless-Hodgson and Kat Metcalf have taken on apprenticeships with Wilson Vale at two different sites – Dylan at Gowling WLG in Birmingham and Kat at Rhodes House in Oxford.
Both apprentices have taken very different routes. Dylan is working as a hospitality team member on a hospitality assistant apprenticeship. Kat is doing a commis chef apprenticeship.
Dylan’s role includes corporate catering and running business lunches, catering for meetings and fine dining events for internal staff and clients.
He said: “I like the independent learning and the fact that I’m trusted to do things by myself. I’m still learning new things every day, and able to learn things at a rate that suits me.
“Working in contract catering is great as it has a great work life balance, plus the team is amazing here.
“I would love to go into management. This is the line of work I know I want to continue pursuing and that I am passionate about.”
Kat says she enjoys this way of progressing her career.
She continued: “It’s much better than being in a classroom, the practical style of learning really works for me. I’ve realised that this is the industry that I want to be in. And I can earn while I learn.”
