INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE HOTEL

First exposure: A young trainee's first industry exposure is likely to be the most influential in that person's career. If the managers / supervisors are unable or unwilling to develop the skills young trainees need to perform effectively, the latter will set lower standards than they are capable of achieving, their self-images will be impaired, and they will develop negative attitudes towards training, industry, and – in all probability – their own careers in the industry. Since the chances of building successful careers in the industry will decline, the trainees will leave in hope of finding other opportunities. If on the other hand, first managers/supervisors help trainees achieve maximum potential, they will build the foundations for a successful career. HOTELS:

• Should give proper briefing session/orientation/induction prior to commencement of training.
• Should make a standardized training module for all trainees.
• Should strictly follow the structured training schedule.
• Should ensure cordial working conditions for the trainee.
• Should co-ordinate with the institute regarding training programme.
• Should be strict with the trainees regarding attendance during training.
• Should check with trainees regarding appraisals, training report, log book etc.
• Should inform the institute about truant trainees.
