 Career defining moments –
brought to you by apprenticeships
All
eyes will be on the Langham Hotel in Eastbourne this weekend as a World
Record-breaking wedding is set to take place. Sussex Downs College intermediate
hospitality apprentice Tia Jestico is about to put her skills to the test
in a career defining moment as she works the bar for the wedding.
Tia Jestico, 18, from Eastbourne, is nearing the
completion of her Intermediate Apprenticeship at the Langham Hotel through
Sussex Downs College. Less than one year on from starting her apprenticeship in
the hospitality sector, Tia is set for one of the biggest and busiest weekends
of her career to date.
Tia will be working in the bar on Saturday 13
June for a wedding that is getting enough press attention to rival that of any
Royal Wedding. Langham Hotel owner Simon Kirby will see his father, George,
103, marry his fiancée Doreen, 91, setting the Guinness World Record as the
oldest couple to marry, with a combined age of 194.
For the 60 staff at the prestigious seaside
hotel, it’s all hands on deck, for Tia included. She has a full-time rota as an
apprentice, juggling the pressures of both work and college; homework is also
set, but is something Tia identifies as manageable with her busy workload.
“I wanted a more hands on approach to learning,”
Tia explains about her apprenticeship. “I applied for the position through the
Sussex Downs College Job Shop and attended an interview, as you would for any
position available.”
Hotel Manager Simon Brown, says: “Apprentices
work well as it’s a chance to introduce young people into the industry and lets
us train and shape our future workforce.
“The skills Tia and other apprentices develop by
being in the workplace alongside their College education is so beneficial.”
The Langham Hotel has been so impressed with
Tia, they are now in the process of hiring two further apprentices for the busy
hotel restaurant through Sussex Downs College.
