Aroma Catering Foundation
As you will be aware, Aroma was set up for the sole purpose of helping young people in Cumbria access Catering College. We do this through helping with applications, offering mock interviews, and helping prepare people as best we can.
However, the biggest issue in students not moving on to Catering College is the financial implications. With this in mind, Aroma is extremely proud to be able to offer funding for local young people who have a passion for food, and want a career in hospitality, all of which will start at Catering College.
Step 1
Decide what catering establishment or course you would like to attend.
If you would like help or advice with this, please let us know!
