Taster Day in the ARCOTEL Rubin

On Thursday, 13 December 2012 we welcomed around 15 young men and women who are participating in a part-time course in the hotel industry / gastronomy.

In cooperation with Department for U25 Career Advice at the Employment Agency in Hamburg, we organised a series of programmes to outline the various jobs and opportunities in our industry to these young people from midday to 3.00pm, in a very "palatable" way.

The young people were welcomed by Mr Müller and Ms Koblitz. After a brief round of introductions, both of them presented themselves and their careers. They also touched on the various training opportunities available at the ARCOTEL Rubin. The young people were then taken on a guided tour of the hotel by Mr Stahl.

For the last part of the day the visitors were split into two groups. In these groups they were able to gain some practical insight into two key departments at the hotel, the kitchen and the events restaurant FACETTE. Tables were laid immaculately and various cutting techniques were practised in the kitchen. Finally, the groups sat down at the set tables and ate the food they had all prepared together.

The purpose of the day was to pass on some knowledge to the young people and perhaps also encourage one or two to join us for professional training.
