Lord Young, Secretary of State for Employment (centre), shows his support for the hotel and catering industry at Spring Open 86 Exhibition. He was visiting the stand of the Hotel & Catering Training Board, where a new open learning management programme was on display. The nine units which make up the programme together offer “the new way to catering management”, according to Open Learning manager Peter Critten (right). Open learning students successful in a unit are rewarded with the Training Board's Open Learning certificate. The management programme aims to provide greater access to qualifications for the 350,000 managers and supervisors working in catering. It has been funded by MSC's Open Tech project, led by director David Tinsley (left).
