Connect to Work - Work Placements
Thanks to the staff at Bella Italia for supporting our job seekers through valuable work experience placements.
Jordan had never worked in a kitchen environment before but has a real interest in learning how to cook and create meals.
Under the guidance of the head chef at Bella Italia, Jordan was able to learn about food safety, safe use of knives, teamwork and the planning and preparation that goes in to producing meals in a busy restaurant.
As well as increasing his knowledge and motivation to cook more at home, the placement has also broadened his work aspirations and Jordan is keen to find employment in a cafe or restaurant environmnet.
