Working in Schools and Colleges

The offer is open to all schools operating within the London Borough of Southwark.

Working with Careers Leads, Senior Leadership Teams and Subject Leads – following our tried and tested approach – we will bring together pupils and employers to raise the profile of the hospitality industry as a worthwhile and attractive career option.

By creating lasting relationships between schools and employers the project also aims to strengthen the Schools Careers Offer.

The trips that have been organized have been really inspiring and the students very much enjoyed the experiences
Pupils were able to experience a range of different career paths in the hospitality industry
The broadening of student horizons, making the world of work real for them
Some of the young people on the project had never been into a hotel or restaurant in London and so visits have really broadened their horizons with new career options
I think the students really thought about what a career in a hotel could involve, a good opportunity to see different + exciting career paths
I think the work Rinova have done with employers and schools via this project is fantastic. It's helped bridge a huge gap on a local level
Students loved the activity and all got involved
..it was the best school trip they had been on
It has inspired them to take action and look into careers such as the ones presented to them
