The Bread Factory

Our 'Growing Bakers' Apprenticeship Programme, at The Bread Factory, exemplifies the true value of apprenticeships and showcases how everyone can build a rising career in the baking industry. Absolutely, there are many misconceptions about apprenticeships that can prevent people from fully growing their careers. Some common misconceptions are that apprenticeships are only for certain trades. Are for those who don't do well academically, and apprentices are low-paid workers. Apprenticeships don't lead to good career prospects and are only for young people. Forget about all these misconceptions, we welcome everyone with a passion for baking. By condensing the journey to becoming a skilled Artisan Baker into a little over a year, we offer comprehensive training, ongoing support, and robust career prospects. Our apprentices gain hands-on experience, a deep understanding of the craft, and a pathway to a fulfilling career in baking. Are you as passionate for baking as we are? If so, there's no better place to Grow Your Career than The Bread Factory. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ejQ9MnD4

Last week we had the pleasure to sit down with Izabela for a chat about her career and passion. With beautiful stories to tell, here is a little bit about Iza’s. 'Tell us a little bit about yourself? I have been with TBF for more than 4 years and I started with no knowledge of kitchen or production. I have learned everything I know in our Central Kitchen and watching MasterChef on TV. I’m passionate about food and people. 'How did you craft your career with TBF? I started as a Commis Chef and now I’m a Chef de Partie. When I first joined, I was curious to learn more and take more responsibility. I didn’t have much experience, but I observed how my managers were leading by example, and I followed. My manager noticed that I was good at leading people, so he gave me the opportunity to take care of the team. Following that, I decided to study Management in the University which, also helps me with my job role and growth.   'How do you reconcile studying and working in TBF? It’s quite easy. My managers are very flexible. I had a conversation with them around my needs and what days I could have off and I use those days to focus on my studies. 'What do you enjoy the most about your role? I like to work in the kitchen, that is my passion. Taking the food from the oven and seeing the result, I go, “Wooow”. We make amazing food. Our food has so much taste and our customers love it. That makes me want to do more. That’s what I enjoy. You too can Craft Your Career with TBF.
