‘You can’t subsidise people into jobs that don’t exist’, as hospitality assesses £725m reform
The UK Government's just announced a £725m apprenticeship reform that'll affect hospitality pretty heavily, including wine venues and restaurants. They're covering full training costs for under-25s at small businesses and rolling out foundation apprenticeships from 2026, but industry leaders are worried the scheme won't work unless struggling hospitality businesses actually have jobs to offer. Worth watching since it could reshape how hospitality, including on-trade wine venue, recruits and trains staff.
