New film highlights exciting opportunities in hospitality and tourism in Warwickshire

Warwickshire County Council has produced a new film to highlight the varied and exciting career possibilities for young people in the hospitality and tourism sector.

Last year in Warwickshire alone, the industry was worth £1.1billion, providing more than 20,000 jobs, and by 2025 it is expected to be worth £257.4 billion nationally, providing 3.7m jobs.

The film is designed to dispel some of the myths around this important sector, and shine a light on the different career paths, including fast-tracks to management, and opportunities to travel, many of which can lead to senior roles, including CEO, or head chef.

Viewers will see 22 people working in a variety of roles talking about their career progression, the opportunities for training they’ve had, the skills they’ve picked up on the job, and what they love about working in the industry.

You can watch a taster of the film below:

Schools are being encouraged to share the film with pupils and parents throughout the county. It will also be shown throughout the upcoming ‘My Hospitality World, Warwickshire’ event (27 February – 5 March). You can read more about that here.

The full 15 minute film is available here.
