The Hospitality Job Connect program is a free five day nationally accredited course providing participants with the basic skills and competencies to confidently secure a job in the hospitality industry.
Run regionally with the local TAFE institute, the course includes masterclasses with WA chefs Tony Howell and Don Hancey, customer services training, barista skills and safe food handling techniques, CV writing support and introductions to employers looking for workers in the area.
The first program was held in Kununurra in May 2021, followed by Geraldton in September 2021, and concluded with Mandurah’s course in December, 2021.
Held between December 6 and 10, 2021, the Mandurah course kicked off at the Sebel with resumes and job interview skills. The students then spent a couple of days in the kitchen learning about pasta, hygiene and food safety, and completed the course with their assessment and a celebratory afternoon tea and graduation.
