The Employment 1st program, developed by JCP at the request of employers, addresses the inconsistency in pre-employment training within the hospitality sector. Aimed at job seekers and returners, the program focuses on essential employability skills and the motivation needed for career progression. The flexible 60-hour modular program, which includes training on food safety, health and safety, and customer service principles, supports learners through UKSP to enhance their confidence and skills, leading to nationally recognized qualifications and job opportunities.
