Dylan's lost sales as Covid and Brexit left restaurants short staffed - so this is what bosses are doing
The restaurant chain was under-staffed over the busy summer because of a lack of workers so has set up a new academy
bosses will create an apprenticeship training programme for young people who are seeking a career in hospitality, with a guaranteed job at the end.
Working with schools across the regions, Dylan’s aims to demonstrate to parents and headteachers that promoting careers in hospitality is a responsible and worthwhile objective. Dylan’s is also working with local partners in education, to offer a complete package of support throughout the training period.

Rather quiet on where the money's coming from.... Dylan's is a serial grant harvester rather like Mr Taylor and his underground elasticated experiences.
Sadly in Wales, you don't need to be any good at business, you just need to fill in a good application.
Good for Dylan's, but I doubt that funding for these apprenticeships will come from the business, I would suggest that Coleg Menai will be funding most of the training at their site in Llangeni, Dylan's get the publicity and the credit whilst Coleg Menai can justify their existence.
Were there grants to do this ? i wonder, after all North Wales has three outstanding Catering colleges already, with no disrespect to Dylans, any prospective student needs to be made aware of what hospitality work really entails, long hours, low pay, non existent union representation, close contact with potential covid spreaders, the dependence on a good summer, the winter layoffs, the impact on family when working mostly evenings and weekends whilst your non hospitality friends can have a normal social life.
