Hospitality Open Week, Connecting Students with Hospitality Careers.
Video transcript - Hospitality Open Week
Inspiring high school students towards new career opportunities, the inaugural Hospitality Open Week was held from 7th-11th of November 2022.
Hospitality Open Week is a collaborative initiative between The Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP) program, Tourism Accommodation Australia, Accommodation Association of Australia and the Australian Hotels Association.
The RIEP team worked with over 300 high school students from across Sydney, Central Coast and Newcastle and connected them with numerous hotel and hospitality venues, where students were able to take part in tours, interactive activities and learn about the further opportunities on offer for them within the hospitality industry.
Students during Hospitality Open Week also had the chance to apply for hospitality jobs on the go, using a rapid application system! Through this, 45% of students either have applied or were planning on applying for a job at the venue they attended during Hospitality Open Week. Many students also went on to additional hospitality training opportunities with TAFE NSW’s ‘Summer Skills’ program.
