High School Student Workshop

Guest Service Gold One-Day Workshop - OHLA received notice in the spring that the AHLEI Guest Service Gold program has been added to the state’s list of industry-recognized credentials. Credentials on the approved list can be completed by high school students to help fulfill requirements for graduation. Beginning this school year, the Guest Service Gold program is worth one point in the Business, Hospitality and Tourism career field. OHLA is currently working with interested high schools to host a one-day workshop at their school, where students will earn the credential and participate in other engaging activities related to careers in the hotel industry.

 

 

The next committee meeting is Thursday, November 13 at 11 AM. This meeting will be held virtually.
