Named the Hospitality Skills Tour, over 170 students experienced hospitality skills in an industry environment.

Through the generosity of our industry partners, students rotated through 5 activities frosting glasses and measuring in the bar, making deserts or pasta in the kitchens, setting function tables in the auditorium, making coffees in the café and making beds in a simulated hotel room also in the auditorium.

All students moved through the activities with ease and enjoyed the experience and hands on aspect of the tour.
