(CPV) –
As many as 23 poor young people officially completed a six-month apprenticeship program at high-grade hotels on February 24 in Hanoi.
The program named Youth Career Initiative (YCI) aims to help poor learners equip themselves with the necessary career skills to work in high-grade hotels.
Most learners are from poor families, have not graduated from high school or are ethnic minority people, or victims of domestic violence or human trafficking. Therefore, in addition to vocational training free of charge, they have also been supported with food and drink, uniforms and transport.
When joining the program, the learners are guided and trained by managers and senior staff of the Hilton, Sheraton and InterContinental. In addition, Reach, a non-governmental organisation specialising in vocational training and employment for Vietnam’s most disadvantaged youth, was responsible for teaching English as well as soft skills necessary for their future jobs.
So far, two of the 23 learners have already become official staff of one of the five-star hotels where they studied, 7 others are temporary staff to further improve their skills and be capable to be official staff. The remaining have been interviewed by businesses in Hanoi and 8 of them have been admitted.
“YCI allows youth to learn new skills and be directly involved in the operation of a successful business model, then they can understand and make accurate career choices. The reason why we choose the high-grade hotels is because these hotels have high professional standards and well-trained staff, and we want the learners to enjoy their experiences,” shared Mr. Santosh, YCI Coordinator./.
