Inclusion Scotland, a national Disabled People’s Organisation, is offering free training workshops to all who work in the tourism and hospitality sector in Scotland. The courses are fully funded through the Tourism Recovery Fund and supported by Skills Development Scotland.
With COVID-19 and Brexit having a real impact on the sector’s ability to attract and retain people, there has never been a more important time for the industry to invest in its most valuable asset, its people.
To help Scotland’s travel and tourism Industry recover, Inclusion Scotland will share its knowledge and experience. For example it will cover language, what to do if you get it wrong and how to approach disability in a way which is respectful and with practical guidance on how to be the change you want to see in society.
The workshops will help increase your confidence and knowledge to attract, recruit and retain well-qualified, motivated staff in challenging times, with practical advice and guidance to help make your business is more accessible and inclusive for customers and employees alike.
This training is open to all employees, employers and self-employed in tourism and hospitality across Scotland working towards a more inclusive and accessible workplace and society.
