The Careers and Enterprise Company are delighted to be able to offer a Catering, Tourism and Hospitality Taster Day for students from years 9-11 inclusive. The day will offer students the opportunity to attend five workshops giving them the chance to try hands-on activities in all three subject areas. We will also have a marketplace where students can find out more about careers in this sector and meet with employers. 

The event supports the Gatsby Benchmarks, enabling students to have meaningful encounters with employers and learn about labour market information.
