LDA
announces successful training bids
In
September the LDA announced that it is to invest £3.5m
over the next four years to improve recruitment and skills in the
hospitality, tourism and leisure industry in London.
Following research into what was needed, the LDA developed an
action plan to work out how it could improve the range and quality
of training and skills improvements in all areas of hospitality,
leisure, travel and tourism.
The LDA then announced the opportunity to bid for funding for
projects in four key areas:
1. recruiting people into the industry;
2. keeping key staff
in the industry;
3. making companies more aware of the support
that is available for them;
4. improving profitability by training
and developing skilled staff.
All
bids have now been submitted and the successful projects selected
so the
resulting training courses will begin in April. We’ll
shortly bring you details of what’s now available and how
you can benefit.
For more info please contact Jane Riches
on 0207 954 4130 or email JaneRiches@lda.gov.uk. Details
of all successful bids will be posted on their website from 1st
April - www.lda.gov.uk/tourism in the skills section.
