Collaboration aims to connect job seekers with opportunities and support employers in finding skilled professionals
Wine Jobs UK, the leading independent job site for the drinks community, and The Drinks Trust, the charity dedicated to the drinks and hospitality workforce, are pleased to announce a strategic partnership aimed at supporting more individuals to build rewarding careers in the drinks and hospitality sectors.
This collaboration brings together Wine Jobs UK’s expertise in connecting skilled professionals with employers and The Drinks Trust’s commitment to developing talent through its Develop initiative. The partnership will focus on addressing skills shortages in the industry while creating opportunities for job seekers to find their ideal roles.
“We’re excited to join forces with The Drinks Trust,” said Ian Whiscombe, Owner at Wine Jobs UK. “This partnership allows us to use our industry connections and easy to use jobs board to support The Drinks Trust’s mission of empowering the drinks and hospitality workforce.”
The Drinks Trust, added, “Partnering with Wine Jobs UK aligns with our mission to help support newcomers into the drinks and hospitality industry and to connect Drinks Trust students to quality employment opportunities. Together, we can offer comprehensive support to individuals seeking to enter or advance in the drinks industry, from education and training to job placement.”
Key benefits of the partnership include:
1. Enhanced access to job opportunities for graduates of The Drinks Trust’s Develop programme.
2. Streamlined recruitment process for employers seeking skilled professionals.
3. Increased awareness of career development resources available through both organisations.
This collaboration comes at a crucial time for the industry, which has faced challenges due to Brexit, a lack of new entrants, and a national talent drain.
