A UK INITIATIVE FOR EDUCATION | STUDENTS | EMPLOYERS | THE DINING PUBLIC
Students have the right to select a meaningful career with employers who set out fair and just working practices, and stick to them.
The incredible safeguarding established by colleges and universities has the potential to extend into industry with the right employers.
Displaying the Visionary Chefs logo doesn't just influence why students should select you for their career, but is a benchmark to attract all staff to your business. At a time of pressure on staffing availability, employers need every edge.
If the dining public are selecting where they eat based on your sustainability efforts, it won't be long before they'll be interested in how you respect the working practices of your team.
At visionarychefs.com, we're focussing on new strategies to reduce mental health issues within professional kitchens. Whilst numerous charities and organisations provide invaluable support when things go wrong, we're going one step further and targeting prevention at source - colleges, universities and student chefs generally.
To accomplish this our online database can match employers to student chefs who sign up to the Visionary Chefs Charter. We see our charter as providing best practice initiatives in preventing mental health issues.
So you're about to leave college/university, or you're looking for an exciting stagier position. You want to kick off your career with the best possible opportunity in a venue that is suited to your career. By registering with VisionaryChefs.com we will make your personal statement available to appropriate employers so they can reach out to you. Just let us know where in the UK you want to work and what cooking level you you're looking to work at. It's free to join.
As advocates of the VisionaryChefs.com charter any employers who use our service are aware of working conditions best suited to those looking for a flourishing career. We encourage these employers to reach out to you. VisionaryChefs Charter.
If you're contacted by an employer outside of your region, we may be able to assist your relocation with the Visionary Chef Scholarship that launches in September 2025
We have a growing database of student chefs that are looking for safe and productive businesses in which to flourish. If you're an employer that can safely nurture young talent and support their career, register today and gain access to emerging talent.
Registered employers receive an authorised logo they can use on their website, training collateral and recruitment materials.
Students who have worked to develop their skills can benefit from an industry placement to accelerate their career development and professional prospects.
Initial placements are supported with funding for equipment, uniforms, transport and accommodation to facilitate the initial placement of the student chef. Scholarships launch Sept 2025.
Great businesses are looking to nurture the talent of tomorrow as they look themselves to prosper. Connecting with emerging talent from education across the UK is a key priority.
Leading hospitality colleges around the UK will be invited to host gala dinners to raise funds for the Visionary Chefs Scholarship, Hospitality Action and the hosting college. Embedding core values at grass roots is an essential element of industry evolution.
The Visionary Chef Scholarship is committed to a new future for chefs in which a stable mental health environment is critical. Hospitality Action supports employers and employees to ensure the best possible environment for professional, structured growth.
The 'Visionary' in Visionary Chefs doesn't just apply to the skilled student, it also applies to smart employers who have the vision to nurture future generations of chefs and ultimately shape fulfilling careers.
