Tourism workers can upgrade their skills during 13-week program

TOTA offers training course

Tourism workers who are unemployed or who are barely hanging on to their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic will have a chance to develop their professional skills this spring.

Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association has received funding to deliver a free, 13-week, domestic tourism skills training program. The Canadian Tourism Professional Program will help entry-level seasonal, casual or part-time employees who are interested in growing into full-time tourism employment.

The online course starts on Feb. 8 and will be delivered by industry facilitators, tourism professionals and guest speakers. Participants will learn about tourism and hospitality trends, regional experiences and the delivery of day-to-day guest service, including an overview of Indigenous tourism, accessible tourism and sustainable tourism.

Classes will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday until May 5. The course is open to anyone age 15 and over, and the deadline to apply is Wednesday, Feb. 3.
