Apprenticeship Training A sustainable way to build your workforce and retain employees Hotel employers can benefit from a model that has seen enormous success in other industries. Apprenticeships are “learn while you earn” programs that save employer costs, improve operations, and lead to a well-skilled and diverse workforce. Here’s how it works: • BEST runs a six-week housekeeping pre-apprenticeship program. Candidates are people very interested in the hospitality industry and are carefully vetted by way of multiple interviews, drug test, language test, referral check and more. • Hospitality partners who helped develop the curriculum also assist with intake, assessments, guest training, hotel tours, and job shadowing. • Program graduates continue as apprentices at partner hotels. BEST supports the employer and the associate with ongoing professional development and coaching. BEST graduates are eligible for 9-12 college credits at a local community college. Consider these benefits! • Lower on boarding costs • Increase retention rates • Ongoing support of BEST • Make training dollars go further • Reach diversity goals more easily Want to learn more? contact Lori Sylvia 617-542-1177 x212 [email protected] www.BESThtc.org BEST Hospitality Training 33 Harrison Avenue, 3 rd Floor • Boston, Massachusetts 02111 • 617-542-1177 • www.BESThtc.org
