You will work in several outlets such as visitor centre, catering, kitchen and restaurant. You organise and provide services to all kind of guests, who come in for lunch, dinner, a meeting or conference. In your first year you will be managed by your second-year peers. In your second year you yourself will take up the manager’s position. You will get to know all the different aspects of the business – from the first contact with the client to drafting a budget proposal, right up to the execution of an event and post-event aftercare.
In daily operations you will learn to look at processes and routines based on the lean method. You will learn to work as efficiently and sustainably as possible, and reducing the amount of waste and combatting food waste is crucial in this process.
