Training Program
The Hotel Etico Training Program is a wholistic model of professional and personal learning through on-the-job vocational training, coaching in capacity building and carer support to facilitate a pathway to open employment and improved independence.
On-the-job vocational training will involve a combination of trainees observing their mentors and peers performing certain jobs and hands-on experience completing tasks under supervision. Through this instruction and practice trainees will develop the skills, competencies and knowledge they need to work toward becoming hospitality professionals.
Trainees will also develop on a personal level through opportunities provided in the Academy of Independence. An on-site trainee residence that will provide an informal setting to transfer the skills, knowledge and experience they have developed at work to an independent living scenario. This is achieved through a combination of coaching in capacity building by support workers and peer mentoring.
The training experience extends beyond Hotel Etico through the encouragement of reinforced learning by carers at home. This is done by ensuring trainees are provided with opportunities to put into practice what they have learned on-the-job and through the Academy of Independence.
The Hotel Etico training culture will centre around fostering a wholistic support framework for its trainees. In addition to dedicated support staff, all permanent hotel staff will not only be outstanding hospitality professionals, they will also be mentors for the young adults that participate in the training program.
