YPE REACHES THE FINAL OF SCOTTISH MODERN APPRENTICESHIP AWARDS
Ype van der Schaaf, head chef at The Famous Grouse Experience, has been named as a finalist in the prestigious Scottish Modern Apprenticeship Awards.Mr. van der Schaaf, originally from Friesland, Holland, but now residing in Perth, was nominated for the 'Continued Personal Development Award' by his training assessor, Lesley Chisholm, and then made it to the final cut from the 123 applicants who entered. Ype was eligible for the award as a result of his successful completion of a SVQ management level 4 modern apprenticeship course.
The awards, organised by Scottish Enterprise, aim to recognise individuals who have developed their careers and who have in turn made a significant impact on their place of work. The ceremony and presentation will take place at the Sheraton Edinburgh on Thursday 6th October.
'The management course has been very beneficial to my work life, by making me more confident and efficient in my role as department supervisor,'
Ype said. 'It has also allowed me to develop training programmes for staff, including a specific scheme to ensure smooth running of the restaurant during the hectic festive season.'
The thirty-three year-old has worked at Scotland's oldest working distillery for more than four years and since joining has helped to develop the award-winning restaurant.
'Ype has done fantastically well to reach the final of the awards and it great to see his efforts and strong work ethic recognised,' said Steven Craik, Executive Chef at The Famous Grouse Experience.
