Hospitality services covers all aspects of the hospitality industry, from food and drink service and preparation to event planning and customer service. You can expect to develop a range of useful skills and knowledge during your time on this course, all of which are highly valued by employers in the industry.
The college has its own restaurant, Taste, and other food outlets in which you will have the opportunity to put your skills into practice. There are many other opportunities for students to hone their skills throughout the year through work experience placements and external events, which will prepare you for life in the hospitality industry.
During this course you will be asked to carry out work experience that is relevant to the subject you are studying. This is with an external company and allows you to put what you will learn in the classroom into practice. It will also help you to develop a variety of different skills. Upon completion of the course and the industry placement, it can also help you to secure an apprenticeship, employment or assist you with your application for university. We recommend that you start thinking about your placement as soon as you have applied for your course and consider potential employers you may want to undertake the placement with to help you get the most out of the experience. For further information and advice on industry placements please contact the industry placement team on wex@chesterfield.ac.uk
