SHOWING, NOT JUST TELLING
The Cornwall Hospitality Collective is a paid membership for businesses, with numerous industry well-knowns showing interest. At less than a few months old, it’s an initiative that has already seen impressive growth, this Spring it’s expected to be 60 members strong.
The Cornwall Hospitality Collective is working closely with Cornwall’s Education Business Partnership, the Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Careers Hub and Cornwall Council to develop hospitality opportunities for young people.
Veryan Palmer, Family Director at the The Headland and a Founder Director of the Collective has begun to offer alternative provision opportunities for students on work experience, developing programmes that work around the individual. James from the Cornwall Hospitality Collective said “The Headland is outstanding when it comes to school engagement. They know the importance of encouraging Maths and English as much as hospitality opportunities, and we’ve heard of their Head Chefs impressing on students how important this is in hospitality when it comes to costings, ingredients and menu writing.”
Inspiring positive change
It’s this engagement with students which is a key ingredient in the Cornwall Hospitality Collective’s early success. “A big part of what we do is school engagement with a difference,” James said. “We recently cooked mussels for 720 students at Treviglas School. A huge number of them had never seen a cooked mussel, let alone tried one. And they did on that day.”
