Frequently asked questions

1.How many times can I participate in the Hospitality Training Program?
Youth Participants meeting the program qualifications can apply for the Hospitality Training Program once per calendar year.

2.Can I work in an office setting while part of this program?
Since this is a "hospitality" based grant, participants interested in the program must be willing to train in worksites that are retail stores, restaurants or hotels. If you end up working in a hotel and are placed at the front desk that would be considered "hospitality" under the grant description. However, a receptionist position at a Dr.'s office would not fall under "hospitality" according to the grant.
