STORIES FROM ACROSS THE NETWORK
DYW’s Hospitality Connect programme is a fantastic opportunity for schools to work with hotels and embed skills for learning, life and work within the curriculum. It allowed the young people to learn more about the hospitality industry, exploring the different roles, and getting them thinking about potential career options.
