Getting experience in the UK
Question
"I am 19 and in the middle of my final school exams. I finish on 19 November and will be leaving for London the next day to see family and friends.
I want to be a chef and have been accepted into the chef school Zevenwacht in Cape Town, South Africa. As I have my ticket for London and a British passport I am planning to stay in the UK for a year and enrol in college in 2003.
But I don't want to waste the year and want to get some good experience in my chosen field. What can I do to start learning as many practical skills as possible from the bottom while I'm in the UK?"
Rene, South Africa
