The Palace Hotel has formed a collaborative partnership with Peterhead Academy. The Hotel has also recently joined the Young Person's Guarantee.
As part of their commitment to Peterhead Academy and the Young Person's Guarantee, The Palace Hotel is providing career inspiration activities for pupils to showcase the careers, pathways and opportunities within the hospitality sector.
The programme of activities offered to pupils includes work taster sessions for young people who are undertaking a Foundation Apprenticeship in Hospitality.
Pupils were also invited to attend The Palace Hotel's own careers fair.
Each of the work taster sessions were extremely successful. Pupils were exposed to various hospitality functions and were able to gain hands-on experience.
The Palace Hotel, Peterhead Academy and DYW North East are now looking at further ways to expand and develop their partnership activities to further benefit young people.
Small group discussions with industry experts helped to prepare S6 pupils for their next steps.
A series of hospitality-themed activities encouraged S2 pupils from St Machar Academy to consider careers in the industry.
A two-stage competition for S2 pupils throughout the region, designed to raise the profile of careers in the construction industry.
