The Department of Workforce Development has partnered with Take Five Limited to create a three-week training programme which will provide participants with certifications for the Hospitality Industry.

“The Tourism, Hospitality and Service Industries continue to be Bermuda’s largest employment sectors,” explained the Minister of Labour, Community Affairs and Sport the Hon. Lovitta Foggo JP MP. “It is anticipated that within the next two years, two additional hotels will open on island, which will create hundreds of job opportunities for the Bermudian workforce. Consequently, we are seeking to develop our Bermudian workforce for those potential opportunities.

“This free, upcoming training course will provide intensive training in ‘front of house’ procedures such as setting tables, customer service and food & wine tasting. It is designed to give participants a broad understanding of a number of things including dietary needs, food and beverage serving and coffee production. Successful participants will receive certifications that are internationally-recognised. At the completion of this course, participants should be more marketable and ready to enter careers within Bermuda’s Hospitality sector.”
