The Chef Management & Leadership Training Programme is designed to provide aspiring head chefs with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage, motivate, and retain staff. Traditionally, chefs have been promoted based on their culinary expertise, often lacking the management and leadership development offered to other roles. However, with increased competition for talent, it is crucial for head chefs and those aspiring to be head chefs to possess strong people management skills, along with the confidence to engage, support, develop, and motivate their teams.
Benefits of the programme include:
- Ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce within the kitchen.
- Improved understanding of fair work principles and their benefits.
- Development and implementation of strategies to enhance chef job quality, staff retention, and productivity.
- Awareness of equality and diversity issues and how to actively address them.
- Knowledge of training and development opportunities and available support.
- Practical guidance on engaging with the education sector to inspire future talent.
This programme is suitable for head chefs and aspiring head chefs.
