Hanna highlights hospitality and tourism career opportunities
Carmel Hanna, Minister for Employment and Learning, has paid a visit to St George’s Market in central Belfast to lend her support to an exhibition promoting the range of opportunities in Northern Ireland’s hospitality and tourism sector.
During the visit, on Tuesday April 9, the Minister commented on the importance of the Hospitality Careers Day in encouraging people of all ages to consider working in the industry, and said: “The hospitality industry plays an increasingly important role in the economic life of Northern Ireland and with consumers becoming even more discerning it is imperative that it attracts the right calibre of people for it to remain competitive."
Earlier in the day, the Minister was accompanied on a tour of the exhibits by John McGuigan, Chief Executive of the Tourism Training Trust, and Marie Thomas, the organisation’s Chairperson.
The Hospitality and Tourism Careers event is entering its third year and is the biggest industry-specific event of its kind in Northern Ireland.
The exhibition is targeted at schools, colleges, parents, teachers, careers officers, community groups and the unemployed.
