Sodexo hosted a practical baking session to create cakes that would be served as part of an afternoon tea service as well as practical sessions that helped teach the students about workplace hazards, recycling and reducing waste.
Mike Taylor, learning and development manager at Sodexo Government, said: “We are delighted with how the takeover went. Working with the amazing young adults during their two days at Aurora Foxes was a highlight for the Sodexo team. We hope the sessions were enjoyable for the students and help to launch their careers in the hospitality sector.”
Following the two-day takeover, Sodexo will continue to work with Aurora Foxes by supporting them with mock interview sessions, assistance with CV writing and Q&A sessions about working for Sodexo.
Emma Cobley MBE, Aurora Foxes principal, added: "The Aurora Foxes takeover was a huge success. The students seemed to really enjoy it, and we hope that the experience will help them to apply the skills they learned to the hospitality industry, leading to sustainable employment when they leave. We look forward to collaborating with Sodexo again."
