Barely a week goes by without a dire warning about the skills shortage in the UK hospitality sector. 

There are fears that the enormous opportunity offered to the sector by the London Olympics in 2012 could be missed because of a lack of talent in the industry. 

On a positive note, industry leaders have grasped the nettle and the Government appears to be listening – to an extent.

On this dedicated landing page, Caterer rounds up all the issues relating to skills in hospitality, including details of the latest government initiatives, industry opinion, research and news from the education sector.
