The Right Course, PeoplePlus and HMP Lincoln.
We transform lives by teaching valuable hospitality skills and providing sustainable employment opportunities while inspiring self-belief and values.
The Right Course seeks to transform staff restaurants in prisons into high street-like operations/businesses using existing facilities and equipment. Our training restaurants are run by prisoners, gaining industry-recognised qualifications and experience. Upon release, we work to secure our graduates jobs in the hospitality sector.
The Right Course is driven by the concept that hospitality is about always giving first and generously. Reaping the rewards will come as a consequence of self-belief, hard work and discipline.
To run staff restaurants like high street restaurants.
To transform the aspirations and prospects of learners, who will gain nationally-recognised qualifications, authentic work experience and potential employment in the hospitality sector upon their release.
We teach our learners to think of people beyond just themselves. From fellow learners, to customers, to trainers – there’s a sense of belonging and collectivism that instils new values and provides a sense of joint responsibility.
We offer a neutral and real-world environment where our learners can adapt their ways of living in readiness for release. It’s also a space for Prison Officers to rest, recharge their mental wellbeing, and see the potential of our learners.
