“Before starting with Springboard, I had recently left further education, realising it wasn’t the path for me. Uncertain about my career direction, Springboard introduced me to a diverse array of job roles and career paths, igniting my passion for the hospitality industry.

During the three-week course, I gained a wealth of knowledge, from bar skills to events management, and from food and drink pairing to mixology. Exploring the ‘science’ behind mixology was particularly intriguing, as I honed my skills behind the bar and crafted the perfect cocktails. Acquiring new qualifications and refining my existing skills, the course has also enhanced my communication abilities and public speaking techniques.

Working with a great group of people at Springboard motivated me and helped me to gain confidence – pushing me to excel and achieve my best. Following the course, I completed a placement at Hilton Liverpool, leading to a position as a Food and Beverage Assistant. Now, a month into my role, I am going to be starting a Food and Beverage Apprenticeship – a stepping stone towards my ultimate goal of moving into management.

I wholeheartedly recommend Springboard to anyone seeking clarity in their career path. The training provided by Springboard can unveil hidden talents and ignite a passion for hospitality, just as it did for me!”
