Stephen Knight Chair of London Assembly's Economy Committee worked alongside apprentices from Brigade Restaurant. The visit began the Committee's examination of how apprenticeships are developed and managed, and what value they can bring to London's workers and economy.

investigation, Stephen
Knight, Chair of
the Economy Committee
worked with apprentices
from the United Kitchen
Apprenticeship Programme.
The programme is run by
Beyond Food in partnership with
Brigade Restaurant
and Babcock International
training providers.

4. The United Kitchen Apprenticeship gives vulnerable people a fresh start by
offering an apprenticeship programme to study towards an NVQ Level 2 Diploma
in Professional Cookery, whilst working in the kitchen team at Brigade Restaurant.
This is one of the many programmes the Committee will examine to contribute to
its findings. If you are an apprentice or employer, share your story with us at
