Job seekers will attend training during regular hotel hours, informational interviews with hospitality professionals as well as sit for an American Hotel and Lodging Association (ALHA) national accredited certification exam.
The Job Readiness Training portion of the program focuses on building professional soft skills and learning how to conduct a successful job search. Courses include personal branding, workplace etiquette, getting along with co-workers and supervisors, resume writing and interviewing skills. Participants also attend tours of locals employers, on and off-site hiring events and mock interviews with hiring professional volunteers (2 weeks)
