WORKFORCE
Oregon Hospitality Foundation partners with the industry to provide workforce solutions.
The Oregon Hospitality Foundation partners with the American Hotel & Lodging Association Educational Institute to present internationally accredited and WIOA compliant certifications specific to those seeking entry-level employment as well as those seeking to up-skill and advance their careers. An in-person training program, using this curriculum, was recently piloted on the Oregon coast and an expansion is in works. We support new online curriculum available through the National Restaurant Association called ServSuccess, which offers a pathway of competency-building programs from entry-level through management for roles in the restaurant industry. The Foundation also features, creates, and presents Workforce Resources that highlight a variety of best practices and information including a state research study, commissioned through OSU’s Hospitality Management Department, that highlights innovative retention and recruiting tools. Read more about how the Foundation supports educational opportunities and job training programs that help ensure the vitality of one of Oregon’s largest economic drivers - the hospitality industry.
