Hospitality Group Training offers employers a wide range of services from apprentice/trainee recruitment and expert advice and guidance to professional hospitality and tourism training.

HGT provides nationally accredited, on and off-the-job training for apprentices, trainees, employers and staff at various hospitality establishments throughout regional
and metropolitan areas in Western Australia.

HGT offers schools and colleges a variety of training options, including school-based traineeships and flexible on-line training.

Each year, HGT holds its signature event, the Hospitality Youth Skills Showcase to publicly display the skills and talent of young people currently working towards a career in hospitality.

As part of HGT’s commitment to meeting the specific needs of our diverse community, HGT is actively involved in community consultation, project partnerships and committee work with:

Edge Employment (assisting people with disabilities to access training & employment),
Jobs Pathway Program,
Job Network,
New Apprenticeship Access Programs,
Outcare (ex-offender rehabilitation),
Curriculum Services Support Network,
Curriculum Council of WA and
North Lake Senior Campus School Council.

HGT has been involved in the development of a hospitality training program accessed by students over the internet. This on-line program is coordinated by WestOne and supported by the Western Australian Department of Training and Employment.

The internet modules combine text, audio, visual reality, live chat and video to create an interactive learning experience.

On-line delivery of training services enables employers and students to access training in the workplace at a time suited to them, which means employers no longer have to worry about restrictive timetables for the theory-based training.

Qualified HGT trainers provide the necessary training support, and ensure that the skills learned on-line are confirmed by practical demonstration in the workplace.

HGT consultants can help employers gain access to on-line training as part of a traineeship, or separately as a Certificate Level 1 course.
