Essential workplace skills for the hospitality industry:

GamingCritical to industry performance is a quality training system that delivers essential workplace competence.

FTH Skills Council together with our industry partners has developed this Essential Workplace Skills document to provide:

• an understanding of what tasks should be able to be performed in the workplace having completed Cert II, III or IV Hospitality qualifications

• Industry expectations and recommendations

• an outcomes based audit tool that evaluates practical skills attained through training

It is critical that people have the essential workplace skills to prosper in our industry.
