Business across the globe is undergoing transformational change at the moment and nowhere more so than in the hospitality industry. The key to meeting this challenge is looking for the opportunity to turn adversity into a competitive advantage.

The hospitality industry has led by example and shown amazing resilience in riding out some tough times in recent years. There has never been a better time to build on that strength and generate the spark that gives you the edge over the competition. You can go a long way to achieving that winning formula through the training and development of your future leaders.

What has been lacking in the UK in particular has been the perception of a role in hospitality as a career. For that, the industry itself has to take its own share of responsibility in not always making that path as clear as it could be.

There is a need to draw on the talent that resides both in your team, and maybe even outside the industry altogether, to develop the leaders of the future and attract and retain the people who can make a difference going forward. The potential for your talent to grow is enormous right now if they are presented with the right course and given the tools and conditions to flourish, as well as a career path that is tailored to their needs and develops their skills.  

There are many changes happening in the working environment itself to make it more attractive to talented people, such as building brand core values that attract the right people and offering benefits that enhance the work life balance. But there is no substitute for investment in their personal growth. 

Apprenticeships lie at the core of this strategy and deliver the skills, agility and emotional resilience in your future leaders to navigate the current business environment.  

In addition, through re-investing the Apprenticeship Levy, you are effectively investing in your team’s career and development at no extra cost to your organisation. That’s how the levy works and, why, with the right choice of training, you can future-proof your operation to meet the needs of an ever-changing world.

There’s no better place to start than here at Learnmore. Our foundation degree level apprenticeship has been developed specifically to help your future leaders succeed and thrive in this environment. The nature of the learning approach and how it dovetails in with your requirements is a significant factor in ensuring learners both complete the course and get maximum fulfilment from the process.

You’ll benefit from our powerful partnership with FranklinCovey. We bring the very best learning to you from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ®, The Speed of Trust®, Multipliers® and you’ll learn and share challenges and best practice from other leaders. You’ll also have access to other leadership tools such as behavioural profiling, emotional intelligence assessments and 360 evaluation, all aimed at developing the whole self. All this as an added bonus to our core apprenticeship offering.
