Careers:: TRAINING

Abstract

Nine young people in the hotel and catering industry have been awarded travelling scholarships worth up to £1,500 each by the Hotel and Catering Industry Training Board. This is the second year of the travel scholarship scheme; nine scholarship were awarded for 1978. The scheme is designed to assist young people between the ages of 18 and 25 working in establishments in the hotel and catering industry, and those being educated for employmen in the industry, to travel overseas for further study or work experience; it helps the career opportunities and personal development of young people, benefits the industry as a whole, and demonstrates the industry's commitment to its young people. Neither academic knowledge nor craft skill by themselves decided the awards; particular regard is paid to the way candidates explained how the award would further his or her career in the industry.
