Supporting Hospitality Apprenticeships Week | 29th September – 5th October 2025
We’re in the midst of the biggest shake-up to apprenticeships since the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy in 2017 – and hospitality employers need to be prepared.
Join our Head of Professional Development, Aymen Fetouak MIH, as he welcomes Jill Whittaker OBE FIH, Executive Chair of HIT Training Ltd, for a practical and insightful session exploring what these changes mean for your business, your workforce strategy, and your access to future skills.
You’ll get clear updates on the key developments shaping the system right now, including:

Skills England and the Future of Funding – where hospitality fits in the government’s new priorities and why it’s essential the sector is heard.
Shorter Duration Apprenticeships – how 8-month programmes are unlocking faster, more responsive skills development.
Funding for Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeships – what’s changing, and how to make the most of the opportunity before restrictions tighten.
Foundation Apprenticeships – a new entry-level pathway to help more young people take their first step into hospitality careers.
Changes to Off-the-Job Training Requirements – what is changing and what it means for you.
The Growth and Skills Levy – what may replace the current Apprenticeship Levy and how it could support wider workforce planning.

Jill will be joined by Jonathan Foot FIH, director of skills and early careers at Compass Group UK & Ireland, who’ll share how they’re navigating the changes and using apprenticeships to build strong, sustainable teams.

6:12pm is the new 8pm
2025-10-28 10:00 - 11:00 (Europe/London) | Online Webinar Institute of Hospitality
In 2025, 5,000 British consumers were surveyed about their going out and eating out preferences.
Consumer behaviour is shifting towards going out earlier, with the new preferred start time for consumers’ bookings at restaurants, pubs and bars now sitting at 6:12pm.
This marks a continuance of a trend that started post-pandemic, with consumers increasingly favouring convenience when it comes to their visits to hospitality venues.
But what are the key factors that are influencing this shift towards earlier booking times?
Which consumers are seeing the biggest behavioural shifts?
And what are the biggest priorities for guests when choosing to visit hospitality venues earlier?
Join Aymen Fetouak who will be discussing with Stuart Derricott, exclusive research from Zonal and CGA by NIQ revealing a shift in consumer behaviour towards going out earlier when visiting pubs, bars and restaurants, as well as the factors influding this shift. A link to the full research can be found here
