Compass Group UK & Ireland has been named 'Employer of the Year 2023' in the the Retail, Hospitality and Tourism category of this year's Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards.
Previously the BAME Apprenticeship Awards, the awards showcase talent and diversity within multicultural communities by celebrating the efforts of people who are working hard to overcome adversity to achieve their goals through apprenticeships.
The awards highlight the achievements of apprentices and the contribution of employers and learning providers who have assisted them along their journey.
The awards recognise Compass Group's commitment to attracting, and supporting, apprentices from diverse backgrounds.
Earlier this year, the group became patrons of the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance, which provides resources, guidance and opportunities and empowers individuals from under-represented backgrounds to access meaningful career paths.
Dean Alunan, General Manager for Compass Group UK & Ireland – Healthcare, who is currently working towards a Chartered Manager Degree Level 6 apprenticeship, was highly commended alongside shortlisted finalist, Yasmin Sharif from Chartwells who is working towards achieving Commis Chef Level 2.
To have two of our apprentices recognised is phenomenal and is a testament to their dedication.
Jonathan Foot, Head of Apprenticeships and Early Careers, says “It is amazing to be recognised by the Multicultural Apprenticeship Alliance.
The team works tirelessly to attract, recruit, support and empower apprentices from diverse backgrounds.
Congratulations to them and the team.”
The awards ceremony took place on 5th October at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham.
