Challenge

Mentone Grammar wanted to provide their Year 9 students with employability skills and an insight into the hospitality industry.

As a part of their Year 9 program, Mentone Grammar students spend time learning how to manage their student run café (Greenways Café).

Key Challenges:

  • Development of a customised and tailored training program specific to the needs of Mentone Grammar’s students.
  • Designing a training program that complemented the existing curriculum structure and was engaging and inspiring for the students
  • Deliver a training program that provides students with accredited micro-credentials as a pathway to employment or further education.

Solution

Mentone Grammar chose to partner with Complete Hospitality Training (CHT) as CHT is a boutique Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that has been delivering hospitality training for almost 50 years.

CHT’s strong reputation for integrity, high quality and a personalised approach to training was a great benefit to Mentone Grammar’s students.

CHT’s trainers are all industry experts, who mentored and guided Mentone Grammar’s students whilst providing them with hands-on practical training and transferable skills to facilitate future employment opportunities.

Outcomes

Mentone Grammar’s students have learnt valuable skills in:

  • Hospitality.
  • Financial literacy.
  • Marketing.
  • Business management.
  • Barista coffee (accredited); and
  • Food handling (accredited).

The customers of Greenways Café can expect to be greeted with a warm smile, fresh and delicious food, hot coffee – and the occasional upsell!
