Get In Touch"I learned about customer service, how to communicate with people, and how to carry and serve food and drinks safely. I practised all of this during the Co-Hive Open Day, and now I feel really confident serving different people at the weekly Buzz Café."

"I completed my RSA and RCG, and Food Safety Certificate. And then during my three days of work experience at a hotel I got to put it all into practice. I tied everything from housekeeping and ironing to working on reception and serving drinks to real customers."
