Foreign Languages and Foreign Food...

 

The benefit of languages in a restaurant chain is shared with students at Christ The King Catholic High School by Operations Director of Il Forno and Sapporo Teppanyaki Restaurants in Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow, and Il Forno's General Manager, Attilio.

Vince Margiotta was keen for his company to join the BLC programme and share his experience with pupils in his local school. So, together with his General Manager at Il Forno, he joined Cristina Sousa from RLN NW to deliver a series of lively presentations to pupils at Christ The King Catholic High School in Southport last September.

Vince and Attilio explained the benefit of languages and cultural skills in such cosmopolitan restaurants as Il Forno and Sapporo Teppanyaki. In total, the restaurant chain employs people from 15 nationalities, and serve visitors who come from all over the world to visit Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow.

Pupils and teachers enjoyed the presentations and said: 'It was brilliant!' and 'I didn't realise how many jobs you need a language for!'
