Chris said, It has been great interacting with people and seeing them enjoy the different foods we have been making.

Bury College Catering Students Working with Employers Bury College is delighted to work with many local employers to develop work experience programmes that focus on developing the next generation of catering employees. By tailoring skills to meet the needs of your business we can work in partnership to provide students to work at events and at busy periods in your kitchen. One example of the success of our programmes is the partnership with the Midland Hotel, Manchester. The Midland Hotel supports both work experience and Apprenticeship programmes at Bury College. Jo Chadderton, HR Manager at the Midland Hotel said, We have developed a fantastic partnership with Bury College over the last few years; both the tutors and students are dedicated and committed to the hospitality industry. It is a delight to see the students grow and develop during the programme with regards to their confidence and communication skills. Apprenticeships are a valuable tool in encouraging school leavers to come into the hotel industry and gives them the opportunity to develop their skills and passion for food.
