Human Trafficking Prevention

Inhospitable to Human Trafficking Training
BEST offers the most comprehensive human trafficking training available in the U.S. for hospitality employees. BEST’s training is a proven tool that helps victims of human trafficking escape exploitation and helps trained hotels become less hospitable to traffickers. Survey research has shown that before receiving training, only 8% of trainees recognized a trafficking incident within the prior year. After taking BEST’s training, that number jumped to 44% of trainees identifying victims. ​

Everyone who completes the training course will receive a certificate. This certificate may satisfy state and/or local training requirements. It is your responsibility to verify whether the training meets any such requirements.

“ORLA needs to be a leader in forging stronger working relationships with like-minded organizations focused on anti-trafficking training,” said Jason Brandt, President & CEO for the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association. “Our industry is a part of the solution and needs to be at the table in providing quality training at no cost as a foundational societal responsibility.”
