For the year under review the Trustees remained committed to supporting learning and skills development for the current and future generations of the hospitality industry. The strategic areas and objectives for the year are outlined below:-
Strategic Area Education
a l Establishments/Association /Charitable Organisations s
The Trustees would:- • Assist Schools, FE and HE establishments enhance and enrich the quality of their hospitality education so that they play a leading role in providing the vocational and professional skills required by the industry.
• Award grants to FE and HE establishments to reward excellence and alleviate hardship by offering student scholarships and bursary schemes.
• Promote and provide scholarships by supporting projects involving career and continual professional development.
• Maintain their support of industry associations requiring funding for specific educational projects.
• Support charitable organisations with initiatives that promote and develop innovative and specialist ways of learning about and training for the hospitality industry.
Strategic Area Individuals
• The Trustees consider it important to award small grants directly to individuals undertaking hospitality related courses. At the same time they are mindful that this area carries a higher element of risk. In order to minimise the risk grants are, in the majority of cases, made payable to the university, college or training provider.
Strategic Area Competiti
o ns
• The Trustees would recognise and reward the achievement of specific skills by offering their support to leading industry competitions. Funding allocated for competitions is specifically targeted for the provision of educational scholarships/prizes as this fits comfortably within the remit of the Trust. The scholarships should be used in a way that furthers the education, training and development of the individual.
