Our Programme

Getting a job can be hard, and in today’s competitive environment, work experience has never been more important. However, work experience is much more than just something to add to your CV. It’s all about finding what you do and don’t like and what direction you’d like to take your career.

Throughout the program, you’ll have opportunities to develop and build your skills, as well as gaining hands-on experience. You’ll leave the program with newfound confidence and a CV that will get you in anywhere.

How to Hustle?

First, you’ll start with a personality test. This will identify your strengths and weaknesses and will highlight areas for improvement.

Kicking off your catering career, you will be offered the chance to complete your levels 1-3 in food and hygiene accredited by City and Guilds. We’ll then put your learnings into practice with hands-on experience in real kitchens based in east London. Along the way, you’ll be taught by some of the best chefs London has to offer.

Throughout the process, your catering experience will be accompanied by customer service and sales technique training. We’ll teach you the lesson of how to hit sales targets, whilst keeping the all-important customer happy.

You’ll then take your new-found skills to festival season, working at some of the biggest events and festivals of the year. Super cool right?

For the entrepreneurs amongst us, we run workshops on managing money, how to set up your own business and understanding finances.

At the end of your journey, whether you choose to stay in catering or explore a completely different industry, you’ll be able to confidently step into any job equipped with the tools and skills you need to succeed, all summed up in a tailor-made video CV, documenting your progress and experience with Hustle Eats.
