Arkell's Launch New Academy

Following the success of Arkell’s staff training programmes last year, the brewery is teaming up with Swindon College to offer local training on nationally recognised hospitality qualifications for all its managed houses.

 

The training will be rolled out to tenancies later this year.

 

The Arkell’s Academy is a tailored mix of apprenticeships and NVQs alongside bespoke additional training, all designed to support those working in the industry, whether that’s in the bar, the kitchen or in pub management, who would like to build on their career.

 

Brewery director George Arkell, commented: “The most successful landlords are those who have benefitted from good quality training and the Arkell’s Academy, where tradition meets ambition, aims at giving those in the hospitality industry the best possible foundation for a long and successful career.”
