Some incredible cookery on display tonight in our school heat at @WHS_HE for @SBFutureChef With Noah winning the heat with his pork tenderloin dish. All pupils were amazing and should be incredibly proud of their efforts 🤌🏻

Meet Wayne 👋 and join us on a BTS to show a day in the life of a Springboard Careers & Employability Delivery Manager. It’s about more than delivering a course. It’s about helping people build the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to take their next step into hospitality. 💜 From preparing lessons and delivering employability sessions to helping trainees believe in themselves and their potential, gain skills, build their CVs and prepare for interviews, our CEDMs are there to support every step of the journey. They also work closely with employers and partners to create work placements and employment opportunities, helping turn learning into real career pathways. 🤝 Want to help create opportunities like these? Partner with Springboard and help us connect people with the skills, experience and opportunities they need to build careers in hospitality. 👉 Find out how your business can become a Springboard Business Partner: loom.ly/WvFc3J0 #DayInTheLifeVlog #BTS #Springboard #Hospitality #HospitalityCareers @CareerScope_

We're delighted to be continuing our business partnership with @SodexoUK_IRE 💙 Over the last year, both Sodexo and Sodexo Live! have supported our Showcase Employer programme, hosting several industry visits for our trainees to get first-hand experience of contract catering outlets and have employed 24 of our graduates. As our Platinum Premium Tier @SBFutureChef sponsor, Sodexo’s Chef Ambassadors have guided and judged our FutureChef 2026 competitors through the local and regional finals. Maisie, our FutureChef contestant from County Durham was mentored by Stuart Bowman, Sodexo’s Group Executive Chef and successfully reached the final which was held in March 2026. Sodexo is also the first prize sponsor of the competition. Its Sodexo Live! team at Ascot racecourse will be welcoming Kate, the 2026 Springboard FutureChef winner to the racecourse for an unforgettable experience. Kate will gain insight into how menus are created, she will work in the professional kitchen alongside Sodexo Live! chefs and will also dine in the restaurant and enjoy the excitement of a race day. Sodexo’s support also includes continued sponsorship of our Springboard Awards for Excellence and this year presented the Technology and Innovation Award. Together we are committed to unlocking potential and opening doors, empowering people from all backgrounds to find rewarding careers in hospitality.
