Two new upskilling programmes for employees in the hospitality and tourism sector have been announced today.
The programmes will develop team leaders and upskill workers in supervisory management roles.
Both schemes, announced by the Irish Hotels Federation and Minister for Higher Education Simon Harris, are free of charge and begin next Month.
They were developed in conjunction with further education bodies, including SOLAS and the Education and Training Board, and seek to provide training to people who have been temporarily laid-off due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mr Harris said the objective of the scheme is to help prepare the sector for reopening, whenever that time comes.
Around 100,000 people from the hospitality and tourism sectors are now on the Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
