​
Our training programs have been meticulously crafted to equip individuals with the skills and qualifications necessary to excel in the demanding environment of commercial kitchens. We understand that the journey toward successful reintegration into society can be challenging, which is why we are dedicated to offering a supportive and nurturing learning environment.
Collaborative Development
This bespoke course represents the culmination of a remarkable partnership between Lime Bird, HMPPS (His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service), and the dedicated team at the Shaw Trust (CF03). Our collaboration is driven by a shared commitment to effecting positive change and providing meaningful opportunities for individuals currently in custody.
Together, we have harnessed our collective expertise to meticulously craft a training program that stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking transformation.​As we move forward with this groundbreaking initiative, our goal remains clear: to break down barriers and provide a path to redemption and success for those who have often been marginalised.
Through the unwavering dedication of Lime Bird, HMPPS, and the Shaw Trust (CF03), we are pioneering a transformative program that embodies the spirit of rehabilitation, second chances, and a brighter future for all. Together, we are making a profound impact on the lives of participants, their families, and society as a whole, ensuring that no one is left behind on the path to reintegration.
Chef Course Details
Our comprehensive training program is strategically designed to encompass an intensive 4-week duration, ensuring that participants acquire the practical skills and knowledge essential for thriving in the demanding environment of commercial kitchens. This condensed yet robust approach not only equips them with the competencies needed to excel in culinary roles but also serves as a proactive solution to the financial challenges faced by employers when onboarding new hires.
​
Within this 4-week period, participants undergo a rigorous curriculum that covers a wide range of culinary techniques, food safety protocols, and kitchen management skills. This immersive experience not only sharpens their culinary prowess but also hones their ability to adapt swiftly and work effectively under pressure, preparing them for the fast-paced world of commercial kitchens. By compressing the training into this timeframe, we not only accelerate the transition of individuals into employment but also alleviate the financial strain on businesses, reducing the costs typically associated with extensive training and onboarding processes.
​
In essence, our program not only empowers individuals with the skills they need to secure gainful employment upon release but also streamlines the hiring process for prospective employers. It's a win-win situation that not only fosters the rehabilitation and reintegration of individuals but also supports the sustainability and growth of the culinary industry.
