Future Chef 2017 Introduces
New Resources, Activities and Awards
AIMING to address the skills shortage
in the hospitality industry, Springboard's Future Chef involves over 8,000
students annually nationwide. After a successful 2015/16, Future Chef is looking
to promote greater culinary education and encourage more young students to
consider and pursue careers in the hospitality sector. Springboard's Future Chef
was delivered in over 700 schools nationwide for 2015/16. Future Chef aims to
teach young school pupils aged 12 to 16 the vital life skills of cooking and the
value of nutrition. It seeks to provide invaluable insight into careers in the
hospitality industry and looks to inspire more young people to build careers in
the sector. In 2016 / 2017 new video resources, class activities and
student recognition awards will be introduced. These are designed to develop
students' technical skills and ability to produce amazing dishes, introducing
them to the fantastic opportunities the wider hospitality industry has to offer.
Springboard's FutureChef offers a portfolio of resources and activities mapped
to core curriculum areas. These are backed by industry professionals and are
designed to help teachers deliver outstanding food technology lessons which
inspire young people to develop their cooking skills and understand nutrition.
Celebrated Chef Brian Turner CBE said:- "The country is short of chefs and
good eating is necessary to keep the nation healthy. Future Chef is the 1st step
to the answer, we need all our teachers and young people to get behind FutureChef
2017. Have fun and start your career!"
Anne Pierce, Springboard's CEO, said:- "We're looking forward to another
year where Future Chef will inspire more 12 to 16 year olds to pursue culinary
careers. We've seen so much talent pass through Future Chef and lead fantastic
careers in hospitality. We know opportunities are available for talented,
hardworking young individuals and through Future Chef 2017 we want to meet even
more success across the UK."
