August 5, 2024

We are looking our next cohort of trainees to join our City and Guilds Assured technical academy training programme. At MCFT you will have the opportunity to learn a new trade, leading to a successful in long-term career. 


Ahead of our upcoming Trainee Assessment day, we spoke to Stuart Ford - Catering Lead at MCFT, about why someone should consider an apprenticeship at MCFT and what to expect.

Why should someone consider an apprenticeship at MCFT?

Our apprenticeships give you a great opportunity to develop yourself personally and in career terms by gaining qualifications. You can progress through the business as you develop and carve out a great career. The more you put in the more you can get out of it. We are the only company offering this in our industry.

What does a typical day look like for a trainee?

For the first 3 months you will be based out of our Technical Academy carrying out online training, practical training and exercises. Once in the field, you will have the chance to attend jobs with your allocated coach.

This will be a varied experience, where you will develop communication and scheduling skills. While training you will need to communicate with your coach to find out where you need to be and what time, also monitoring your own schedule to see what jobs are being added in for them.

Can you describe the ideal candidate?

A good positive attitude helps in any workplace or situation, a willingnes to learn, keen to ask questions, and want to help yourselves. You don't need experience in the industry or environment, but you need to be open to learning and understanding it.
