Galvin’s Chance
Galvin’s Chance is an inspirational ‘into work’ programme leading to pre-employment hospitality training, a work placement, sustainable employment and college apprenticeship. Initiated by Chris Galvin, Chef Patron and Fred Sirieix at Galvin at Windows restaurant in 2009, the programme targets disadvantaged young people aged 18-24 who are not in education or employment, and offers them training and opportunities for a front of house career in some of the most prestigious hotels, restaurants and food service management organisations in London. This is the beginning of their involvement in a life changing programme that will ultimately provide them with the confidence, aspiration and opportunity for a career in the hospitality industry. Through principal partnership arrangements with Hilton in the Community Foundation, The Springboard Charity and Lifetime Training, the project provides mentoring, work experience, skill training, employment and qualifications leading to NVQ Level 2 in Hospitality. It is designed to give all of the young people on the programme the skills, the support and the opportunities to start a career in the hospitality industry; to change and improve their lives for the better and to inspire those around them.
