TRAINING IN SCHOOLS

 

In conjunction with various schools in the metropolitan area, HGT has developed several VET (Vocational Education and Training) programs which give students the opportunity to investigate career options and develop industry-specific skills. All training is nationally accredited.

Workplace Learning (WL)

HGT is able to arrange work experience for students to attend 1 day per week. 

 

Work readiness training

HGT can deliver accredited work readiness training to school pupils.  The outcome is a recognised unit of competency and topics are generic to all industries.  Some of the units available include:

  • Customer service
  • Work place safety
  • Communication Skills
  • Social diversity and cultural awareness

 

Auspicing to schools

HGT can also validate school-based delivery of vocational subjects to allow for Certification at Level I in Hospitality.  Validation arrangements are dependent on the school resources and appropriate qualifications of the teaching staff.  Workplace Learning can also be incorporated into the validation process if required.

 

Certificate I in Hospitality

HGT can deliver Certificate I in Hospitality in schools with flexible delivery methods to fit in with school timetable requirements.

 

Hospitality career advice

HGT works closely with Perth schools to provide students with free career guidance and information regarding the hospitality, food and tourism industries. HGT representatives are also available to give career talks or cooking demonstrations at schools within the metropolitan area. In addition to this, HGT can provide support and training options for VET co-ordinators on traineeships, validation and other customised training requirements.

 

School based traineeships

HGT offers nationally recognised Certificates II and III in Hospitality.  Certificate III is approved on a case by case basis.  Both include on and off the job training, support and mentoring from HGT Industry Consultants and workplace visits by a qualified trainer.

 

School based apprenticeships

Students can start working towards a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery whilst still at school and fast track their cooking career.  This program includes a combination of days at school, TAFE/ College and getting hands-on industry experience with a host employer.
