Hospitality and Catering Apprenticeship

Base Game

Originally released 11/03/2013

Update Log:
– 18th September, 2020 ~ Added Chinese translation

This Apprenticeship can promote into the Culinary Career. Only the Base Game is needed.

Now, these Apprenticeships are, essentially, part-time teen careers. Your teens can go and apply at the associated rabbit-hole building and land themselves a three-level apprenticeship. To change the designated rabbithole to suit your own requirements, I have a tutorial HERE for you to follow. They will earn money each day and will work from 4pm-7pm, Monday to Friday.

Once your teen is promoted to Level 3, they will receive a reward certificate in their Family Inventory to put up on the wall to show off their achievements. As an additional bonus, when your teen ages up to Young Adult, when they apply for the connecting career, they’ll start at a higher level!
Each Apprenticeship has its own custom uniform. There are, currently, no opportunities. It’s challenging enough getting the teens to complete homework and build up the required skills, without throwing extra opportunities into the equation!

How The Promoting Works

When your teenage Sim ages up while employed in an Apprenticeship, they will appear to stay in the apprenticeship. In order for them to get into the “Adult” career, your Sim needs to apply for the job via the Rabbithole, or on the newspaper or computer, as normal. They will appear to only be in level one of the “Adult” career when they join, but after a few moments, it will change to a different level.
If your Sim is at Level One in the apprenticeship, they will not gain any career advancement.
If your Sim is at Level Two in the apprenticeship, they will promote into Level 4 in the “Adult” career.
If your Sim is at Level Three in the apprenticeship, they will promote into Level 6 in the “Adult” career.

Please don’t ask me to change this! It’s the way to code works in Twallan’s Careers mod and I can’t change it.
The Apprenticeship is in English and supports Spanish, German, Russian, French, Dutch and Chinese translations.


The Apprenticeship is located at the Restaurant and has a custom uniform for all three levels. The uniform for levels two and three are different from level one, so don’t be alarmed when the uniform changes. It focuses on the Cooking skill.

Uniform for Level 1

1. Receptionist ~ Intermediate: So, you’re starting an apprenticeship in Hospitality and Catering. Well, good on you! You’re not starting out in the kitchen, but as a Receptionist for the posh restaurants in town, booking tables and such. It’s all part of the hospitality and will be essential for whatever line of work you end up choosing.
§10/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

2. Waiter/Waitress ~ Advanced: As a waiter/waitress, you’re simply taking orders, giving food to the customers, clearing tables, handing out bills, collecting money, taking change and tidying the restaurant when everyone’s gone home. You’ll probably feel exhausted when you get home but just remind yourself that it’s worth it!
§15/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

3. Cook ~ Higher: Now you can be the cook! So pay close attention to the orders and don’t go cooking the wrong meals. It’s a waste of food and if you continue to do so, the restaurant owners will find you a waste of wages. And you’d have to kiss goodbye to your Apprenticeship. So, be vigilant! You’re on the last step of your catering journey and will soon be ready to be released to the hungry masses. Congratulations on your dedication!
§20/hour
Hours: 4.00pm ~ 7.00pm
Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

There are two custom tones; Cook Basic Meals, which builds the Cooking skill and Sit Exam, which boosts overall performance.
