The ‘Fresh Olives’ is Entier’s sector-leading apprenticeship programme. As a food company, Entier will educate all Fresh Olive apprentices – regardless of their jobs within the business – on what it really means to work in this sector and all will take part in a variety of fantastic experiential opportunities which vary from attending chef demonstrations with some of the best chef’s in the country to visiting suppliers to get an understanding of what is involved in the food process from start to finish, or even foraging in the forest to get some of the freshest produce Scotland has to offer.
It is a three-year programme, during which the young person will also complete an SVQ qualification with the support of their line manager with the aim of having at least one Fresh Olive in every department of the business as well as an annual intake of Chef apprentices from local schools
