Sharq Village and Spa, in partnership with Abo Bakr Secondary School, held an educational program ‘Succeed through Service’ that highlights the various facets of working in the hospitality industry to students.
The programme introduces students to the hospitality sector through classes throughout the year, and provides them with training courses focused on key life skills. Designed to provide career exploration in the hospitality industry and support students in building their character, the Succeed through Service programme also nurtures local talent through supporting Qatari nationals to explore a career in the hospitality sector.
The educational programme has been introduced as part of The Ritz-Carlton’s Community Footprints programme, which focuses on three key areas; child well-being, environmental responsibility, and hunger and poverty relief.
“At The Ritz-Carlton, we see corporate social responsibility as a core part of our business,” says Kamal Chahine Director of Human Resources at Sharq Village and Spa.
“By introducing our industry to the next generation, we carry on our company’s long history and deep commitment to community involvement. This is the first of a series of hospitality sessions that we have created and we hope that our contribution will showcase growth potential of the industry and The Ritz-Carlton brand to these talented students, who will be pursuing career options in the not too distant future,” adds Chahine.
Sharq Village and Spa recently hosted the second session in partnership with Abo Bakr Secondary School, with 20 Qatari students between the ages of 13 and 14 years old gathered for an orientation day focusing on hotel industry services, with an introduction to culinary skills and the food and beverage department.
