Global Certification for the Hospitality industry

The hospitality industry faces a shortfall of 14 million jobs by 2030. Negative perceptions of the industry, widening skills gaps and retention of talent are just a few of the challenges faced by businesses around the world. So, how can organisations keep up with the demand and thrive?

As a leading innovator in skills development and workplace learning, we’re collaborating with employers to create a solution that can showcase a range of career opportunities within hospitality, to help attract and retain talent in the sector.
