k Associations/Organisations Springboard Charitable Trust received funding in December 2006 for a project to develop,


pilot and implement a ‘Work Experience Support’ programme which will help to improve the quality and impact of different types of work experience and student placements in the hotel sector. Springboard’s research on people’s perceptions of the industry as a career and the factors that influence career choice, (1999, 2000, 2003, 2006) identified that work experience is the single most important factor influencing career choice. The research also highlighted that work experiences in the industry were variable in quality often because those being asked to deliver the experience misunderstood the requirements. The programme involved two key strands:-


• The development of a comprehensive step by step work experience support compendium for employers in the hotel sector which covers every type of work experience requirement.


• An implementation programme over three years to ensure widespread use of the compendium and an improvement in the quality of work experience as a result.
