London South East Colleges: Industry standard training facilities
London South East College's Hospitality, Food and Enterprise Career College received £2.5m from the Greater London Authority and partnered with the College Careers Trust to refurbish part of the Bromley campus, creating additional teaching kitchens, training food retail outlets and ancillary accommodation.
How does this show what we're looking for?
Opening in April 2017, London South East College:
- Provides industry standard hospitality and catering training facilities, including a cafe (BR6 Bakehouse), training shop and pastry and bakery kitchen
- Has a strong partnership with the College Career Trust to support the curriculum, employability, career and work place opportunities for students
This project demonstrates best practice because:
- The college responds to employer and sector identified skill shortages by supporting the development of highly skilled professional apprentices and graduates with the ability, competencies and aptitude to make a significant contribution to the hospitality sector
- The college works with the local community to support growth and regeneration of retail and commercial business in the Orpington area. As part of the regeneration of Orpington Centre, skilled job opportunities in catering and hospitality are being created
