For the second year in a row<\/a>, the team behind beloved local restaurant chain Gusto<\/a> have put together a fantastic programme for our autistic students at Inscape House School.<\/a>Students got to put their chef hats on and learned more about what it is like to work in hospitality. The day was hosted by Mikey, Training Manager at Gusto, and his team from Gusto Cheadle Hulme.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day started with an engaging mocktail making class. Students got to practice expert skills needed on a bar like speed pouring, shaking drinks, mixing, and the difference between ingredients. They each had a go at making two delicious mocktails: a refreshing no-jito followed by a delicious strawberry soda.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cToday I learned that mocktails taste very nice and they\u2019re also fun to make\u201d – Oliver  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve learned a valuable lesson today: if you give me unlimited supplies, I will keep making delicious drinks.\u201d – Nat<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, students learned about waiting in a restaurant \u2013 from taking orders, checking in on tables to carrying plates. One of the students says:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve learned to carry a lot of plates, all at once \u2013 like a proper waiter!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, everyone\u2019s favourite part was getting to make their own pizza! After a brief history of pizza making, Mikey gave everyone a practical lesson. He helped students shape their sourdough base, then decorate their pizza with their choice of sauce and toppings. These were then baked and placed in boxes ready for students to take home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gusto has been a big supporter of our employability curriculum, having previously organised a similar masterclass for students at school. On top of this, they held\u00a0interview sessions<\/a> teaching our young people more about the process, and then offered positions to the successful candidates for an\u00a0immersive 8-week programme<\/a>\u00a0in one of their restaurants.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inscape House School\u2019s collaboration with the restaurant chain Gusto strives to give the autistic students a chance to prove themselves in the workplace but also motivate employers to foster a more inclusive environment and tackle preconceived notions and unconscious biases about autism while transforming thousands of autistic people’s lives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
