What's an Apprenticeship?
It is a genuine job, with training, meaning you can earn while you learn and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
Bella Italia's Apprenticeships are perfect programmes that will help young adults grow, personally and professionally. Within one of our restaurants, young adults will develop all the necessary skills, knowledge and behaviours to thrive within the hospitality industry.
Our Level 2 apprenticeships could be an amazing opportunity for any young adult to continue to learn and develop, whilst starting a future career on a strong foot. With the right drive, passion and attitude, an apprenticeship with The Big Table Group could lead to great opportunities with us and beyond.
"An Apprenticeship allows people to gain enhanced skills and knowledge, and a recognised qualification whilst continuing to earn their normal wages."
