Rewarding Ideas for Armed Forces Resettlement Training- The Challenge of a Cookery Career by Neil Tufano
You’ve had a great career in the Armed Forces, learned new skills, made lots of friends and seen a bit of the world. However, like all good things, service life eventually ends and a new civilian career beckons. If you’re considering resettlement courses and a new career on Civvy Street, here’s why a four-week cookery course could hold the key to your successful future.
Armed forces resettlement training makes more sense with a clear objective in mind
Every successful military operation relies on clear objectives and thorough training followed by decisive action. For anyone coming out of the Armed Forces, the same applies: having a clear idea of what you want to do, and how you’ll get there, is the key to finding your perfect new career.
Why should I consider resettlement courses in cookery?
As an experienced member of the Armed Forces, you already have many skills that can be successfully transferred into a rewarding cookery career:
-A disciplined approach to whatever you do
-Excellent attention to detail
-Fine-tuned planning skills
-Excellent timing
-Motivational and team leadership skills
Whether it’s Army resettlement, RAF resettlement or Navy resettlement, you’ll bring a lot to the world of catering. Of course, there’s plenty of heat in even the smallest kitchen, but nothing like the pressure you’ve already handled in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq or Afghanistan. Add in a passion for creating wonderful food and building a rewarding new future and you’ve probably got everything it takes to make a success in the busiest professional kitchen.
Not just for a career as a Chef
Even if you don’t want to cook professionally, a four-week cookery course is a great way to build a foundation for a catering business: your own small bistro or café, a traditional pub, or maybe even a catering empire like those of Messrs Ramsey, Oliver and Rick Stein? A four-week intensive course is a perfect way to see if you’d enjoy the catering world; even if you eventually decide not to make a profession out of food, you’ll have had a wonderful time and gained the skills you’ll need to amaze friends and family with your cooking!
How to choose the right resettlement training cookery course for you
Not all cookery schools and courses are the same. With your future career and fulfilment at stake, it’s vital to pick the right one. Here are a few things to look for:
-Is it sufficiently intensive? Four-weeks is perfect to get from basic training to good restaurant level.
-Intelligence counts: does the school have good industry contacts?
-What’s the kitchen like? Modern, clean, spacious and purpose-built is essential.
-Will they tailor resettlement courses to students’ objectives? Becoming a private chef or a yacht chef will involve different techniques.
-How much practical training is there? Don’t settle for less than two cooking sessions a day.
-Are the school’s trainers qualified in teaching as well as cooking?
-Has the school trained ex-forces personnel? It makes all the difference.
A ‘yes’ to all of these questions, plus a positive, helpful response to your enquiries should be the green light you need to sign-on and start building your new future in catering.
