Hospitality means business - skills event for children, parents and teachers

Q Hotels collection and Shakespeare's England tourism company are delighted to launch our 'Hospitality means business' skills events for children, parents and teachers this June. Funding has been provided via the WCC skills for employment programme addressing the gap employers regularly say is missing when they look to recruit in the tourism sector.

The two events will hear from leading advocates from the industry, some well known names and are free to attend. They are for school children from 11 up to college year.

Free Hospitality events
In June we will be holding 2 FREE major hospitality events, one on 27th June (Rugby Campus, Warwickshire College) and one on 29th June (Stratford Upon Avon College) they will be a showcase and discussion events with industry experts and professionals for those who may be considering a career in the visitor economy, tourism or hospitality sectors.

These are the perfect events to find out more, to ask questions and importantly to shape how we tailor and develop work experience and apprenticeships in our sector and encourage more young people to choose our sector as a career option.
