The Apprenticeship in Hospitality Scotland's (AHS) vision is to create a world class, industry led, hospitality apprenticeship programme aimed at young people to encourage them into the world of work in Hospitality & Tourism and this is exactly what has been created. Our purpose is to ensure that our programme will inspire, nurture and develop the next generation of highly skilled talent for the Scottish hospitality industry. AHS is a ground-breaking training course which began as a partnership between four of Scotland's leading hotels including Gleneagles, Cameron House, Blythswood Square and Apex Hotels and each year has grown where we now have 14 partners and one training partner as well as a number of industry supporters, for example, Diageo Learning for Life and HIT Scotland. The apprentices follow the Modern Apprenticeship in Hospitality Services framework and spend six months in key departments; housekeeping, food and beverage, kitchen and reception over two years.
